Pierre Wome is set to make his Fulham debut at last in Wednesday’s London derby with Spurs at Loftus Road.
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 on Wednesday.
Tigana is likely to hand Wome a place on the bench to start with but he is almost certain to play some part in the game.
