Damiano hails Saha return

Saha made a welcome return to action in Sunday's FA Cup win over Birmingham after more than three months out scoring in the 3-1 victory.

The French ace starred in the win at Loftus Road helping Fulham's goal-shy strike-force finally find their cutting edge.

"Perhaps he will be our joker for the league. It was a great comeback," said Damiano.

"Saha's performance was very important. He changed the face of the team very quickly, thought about the game very well and felt normal afterwards.

"It was important to confirm our quality today. We've been playing well but never scoring, so scoring today was the big difference.

"And with Saha back and a good result - when we were solid at the back and could have scored more goals - it looks good for the future. We're hoping for the comebacks of some other injured players."
