England left-back Wayne Bridge

Fulham Manager Chris Coleman was pleased the performance of England left-back Wayne Bridge - who made his home debut, against Tottenham last night, after joining the club on loan for the rest of the season from West London rivals and current Barclays Premiership champions Chelsea.

Coleman believes that Bridge has every chance of earning a place in Sven-Goran Eriksson's World Cup squad this summer.

"Wayne is still not fully fit," said Coleman. "But he's only going to get better. I was pleased with his performance and he will get fitter and stronger as he goes on. He'll be back in the squad for the World Cup."
