MOUSA Dembele is in line to return for Saturday's FA Cup clash with Peterborough.
The Fulham striker was due to play against West Brom but failed a late fitness test.
But boss Mark Hughes is hopeful he will shake off his ankle injury in time to line up against Posh.
He said: "We stepped up Mousa's training yesterday and he got through most of the session.
"But he came in today and failed a fitness test. We're hopeful he'll be available for the weekend."
