Fulham manager Felix Magath has insisted that he will be using the club's younger players more regularly next season.

Despite suffering the disappointment of relegation to the Championship, Magath believes that playing in the second tier will give him the opportunity to give younger members of his squad more responsibility.

"In the future we will give our youth academy more attention," the German told reporters.

"In the last years there were not many players from our youth academy but in the future there will be some players who will join us in the first team.

"We have started and that is the good thing about this situation. The future is to come back to the Premier League and now we can make a change to younger players as the basis of the future."

Fulham finish their Premier League campaign by hosting Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
