Last updated : 17 September 2003 By Brian Cartlidge
The French striker, who has missed Blues' last three Premiership games after undergoing surgery on a troublesome knee injury immediately after the game with Spurs on the opening day of the season, has confirmed that he his available once again for selection in Steve Bruce's squad.

“The operation went very well and I’m feeling good,” Dugarry told the clubs official website, www.bcfc.com

“I’m not yet 100 per cent fit because of the time I’ve been out, so maybe I might need one or two games to get back to full fitness.

“But I’m confident that I’ll be available for this weekend and if Steve asks if I can play I say ‘yes, no problem.’”

Bruce contemplated bringing Dugarry back into the squad for the game against Fulham on Sunday after he had returned to training last Thursday, but his eagerly awaited comeback is now expected to be at Elland Road this saturday.
