Fulham new boy Josh Onomah ready for senior debut after scoring for U23s against West Brom

Josh Onomah is pushing to make his Fulham debut this week after playing for the club’s under-23s on Monday.

Onomah is a new signing at Craven Cottage after joining the club on transfer deadline day as part of the deal that took Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham.

The 22-year-old has left Spurs for Fulham in a bid to secure more first-team football, but he is yet to feature so far.

The midfielder has been involved in full training, though, while he also played for the U23s on Monday.

Onomah came through 45 minutes against West Brom's U23s at Motspur Park, getting on the scoresheet in the process.

He is now hoping to finally make his Fulham debut this week and could even get the chance on Wednesday night against Millwall.

Manager Scott Parker is reluctant to make changes to the side that beat Huddersfield 2-1 on Friday.

However, Onomah could secure himself a spot on the bench. If not, he could make his debut on Saturday at home to Nottingham Forest.

Fulham have a near fully-fit squad for Wednesday's visit of Millwall as they bid to make it three wins on the spin.

“We are all good,” said Parker. “Denis Odoi is probably the only one who is struggling a bit at the moment as he tries to get over a bit of a knee issue.

"Other than that, we are fit and well.”
