Fit-again Diomansy Kamara is relishing his return

Diomansy Kamara is making up for lost time as Fulham close in on their European dream.

The Senegalese, who scored twice in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa that put the Cottagers in the final Europa Cup spot on Saturday, admits he has suffered a frustrating time while recovering from a knee ligament injury he sustained in June last year.

He said: "At the end of last year I scored some important goals and I was looking forward to having a good season for Fulham so it was a massive setback for me to suffer the injury.

"But it was great to be back after watching from the sidelines and now I see no reason why Fulham can't be playing in Europe next season."
