Fulham
Manager Jean Tigana will have a full squad at his disposal when he finalises his side for Wednesday night's match against early-season leaders Tottenham at Loftus Road.
However, Tigana knows he doesn't have long to prepare for Wednesday's game against Spurs and realises the match is vital.
All Fulham's internationals reported back fit today from their weekend outings with their countries. Andy Melville was in Finland with Wales, Steve Finnan was in Russia with Ireland, Steve Marlet was in Cyprus with France and Edwin van der Sar was in Holland.
Luis Boa Morte also played for Portugal the second half against England at Villa Park.
Pierre Wome could be set to make his Fulham debut at last. The defender, signed on loan from Bologna, has been waiting patiently for the chance to force his way into the side and now manager Jean Tigana believes he is ready.
The left wing-back has been declared match fit after two weeks' training with his new team-mates and is expected to be named in the squad to face Spurs.
