Wales national team manager Rob Page has admitted that one of his key players and Leeds United winger Dan James is 'disappointed' at the lack of game time he's getting in his loan move at Fulham.
Since the start of his loan move back in September, the 25-year-old has only started three times in all competitions for the Cottagers after their surprisingly good form has seen him limited to substitute appearances. "DJ's fine but disappointed he's not playing, of course he is," Page told BBC Sport. "He's gone [to Fulham] to play games of football and he finds it frustrating that's he not getting the minutes he would like.

"It's not what we want, but over the last two years it's something we've been used to. He's disappointed not to be playing but he's ready for this camp and he's really looking forward to getting going. DJ has still got the same ability and talent when he went to Man United."
James originally could've had a move to Tottenham but chose Fulham in order to get more first team football, although that hasn't worked out for him.
"I think the Leeds move was because they had showed interest before so they were adamant they were going to get him that time," Page continued. "It was another big club and it's not quite worked out for him. My job now is to get him back up to the levels he's shown before because we know we've got a great asset in DJ with his pace."
