Riise: Interview was lost in translation
Midfielder Bjorn Helge Riise had denied criticising his Fulham team-mates.
The Norway international, who moved to Craven Cottage over the summer, was quoted as saying that some players were being picked ahead of him because they have bigger reputations.
Riise allegedly said he had a "better technique, better touch and could deliver better passes" than winger Damien Duff.
The interview was held with Norwegian newspaper Avisenes Nyhetsbyra and Riise insists his words were lost in translation when reported back in England.
Riise told VG Nett: "I just want to say that I have never complained about a player in any of the clubs that I have played in.
"If I chose to promote my own advantages and my confidence, it is always interpreted as if I am talking negatively about my team-mates. That is wrong. I have spoken to the manager and Damien Duff and everyone at Fulham. They told me it is cool, that this is nothing."
