Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed has confirmed he is ready to take part in his side's final 10 matches of the Championship season after overcoming a series of injury problems.
Reed was a regular feature in the Fulham side during the early months of the Championship season following his loan move from Southampton, but an ongoing calf problem has meant he has only played four of the Cottagers' last 19 league matches.
The 25-year-old has not played for Scott Parker's side since their 2-1 defeat to Reading on New Years' Day, with Reed having been forced off after 19 minutes when he picked up another injury which has since kept him out of 10 Championship clashes.
However, Reed has now

The Verdict
Reed's imminent return will come as a massive boost for Fulham given it had previously not been clear when he would be making his comeback, and the midfielder could now play a key role for the Cottagers between now and the end of the season.
The Southampton loanee received plenty of praise for some of his displays in the defensive-midfield role earlier this campaign, and his injury comeback means he now adds another high-quality option to Parker's midfield ranks for the final 1o games.
It would be a surprise to see Parker immediately re-include Reed in the starting line-up given the extent of his recent fitness troubles, but the midfielder could have an important role to play from the bench before eventually breaking back into the side.
