Gabor Kiraly is set to go straight into the Fulham squad for tomorrow's game against Cardiff City.
The club are confident of getting international clearance before the game for a keeper who Premier League fans dubbed ‘pyjama man’ after he religiously wore tatty tracksuit bottoms during his spells with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Ham and Burnley between 2004-09.
Felix Magath will allow the 38-year-old to continue to wear the ‘tracksuit from Matalan’ as more English supporters dubbed it.
The German boss says Scott Parker has recovered from a twisted ankle sustained in the 1-0 win over Brentford in the Capital Cup on Tuesday.
But fellow midfielder Mark Fotheringham will play no part after he picked up a hip injury, with Magath confident his side can pick up a first league point after four defeats.
He said: “I know it’s more important tomorrow, but the League Cup win has helped preparation for this game."
The manager also revealed record signing Kostas Mitroglou is fully fit, but the Greek World Cup striker still seems unlikely to play any part against the Bluebirds.
