Finnan set for Fulham comeback

Fulham’s Republic of Ireland international Steve Finnan is expected to make his comeback from injury in the Cottagers’ first ever UEFA Cup match, against Hajduk Split in Croatia tomorrow night.

The right-back’s knee problem kept him out of Saturday’s 3-0 demolition of Sunderland – but he is now fit again and in line to replace Abdeslam Ouaddou in the starting line-up.
