Fulham manager Martin Jol has played down claims that he has fallen out with striker Bobby Zamora.

The England international was left out of the Fulham squad that travelled to Swansea City on Saturday afternoon, prompting rumours that Zamora was heading for the Craven Cottage exit.

However, Jol has denied the speculation and revealed that Zamora is in "love" with the club.

"I said to him a few weeks ago 'do you love this club?' and he said 'yes, I love this club, I love this team'," Jol told reporters.

"I don't think there is any problem. I think the grass is always greener on the other side but it is not only for him.

"There is not one player that has told me he does not want to play for this squad. I feel if you look at the media, they started this Bobby thing in August."

Zamora, 30, has recently been linked with a transfer to Aston Villa.
