Kelly targets Cottage return

Stephen Kelly was back in the starting line-up at Craven Cottage with his country this week and now the 29-year-old is hoping to do the same with his club.

Kelly started in the Republic of Ireland’s 4-1 friendly victory over Oman in west London on Tuesday but has yet to start a Premier League game for Fulham this season.

That’s a situation the versatile defender is keen to change — starting today against high-flying West Brom.
