Keane passed fit

Keane has recovered from the shoulder injury that kept him out of the Republic of Ireland's defeat to Poland on Wednesday and should line up against Fulham this afternoon.

"I think he will be okay. He was training today so he should be fit for the game," said Rafael Benitez.

"Some of the players who have returned from international games are a little bit tired, but I think most of them will be okay for this weekend."
