Bjorn Helge Riise has set his sights on a regular place in the Fulham side after staying patient at the start of the season.

The Norway international has found it difficult to establish himself in the starting XI since arriving at Craven Cottage from Lillestrom over the summer.

He has had opportunities in the Europa League and played both of the recent matches against Roma, when he came up against his bother John Arne.

But Riise has only made one appearance in the Premier League and he is determined to do everything he can to force his way more into Roy Hodgson's plans.

"I have to take every chance that I get, so if it is the Europa League or a training match, I just have to play my best in the chances I get," he told the club's official website.

"I am going to work hard in training and then the manager will pick out the best team.

"That is part of the team game, when you play with so many good players like you do at Fulham, you just have to train hard, do your best and at some point you will get your chance - and then you have to take it."
