Clarke confirms Lukaku fitness

West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke has insisted that Romelu Lukaku will be fit for the club's trip to Fulham on Saturday.

The 19-year-old, who joined the Baggies on loan from Chelsea in the summer, scored on his debut against Liverpool on the opening weekend of the season.

"Romelu's injury was the result of a tackle and, to be honest, it was probably a 10-day injury. He just ran out of time to play against Everton. It was natural that he would be fit and ready to play for Belgium," Clarke told the club's official website.

Lukaku has missed West Brom's last two matches against Yeovil and Everton.
