Portsmouth goalkeeper David James believes he has won the race to be fit for the FA Cup Final.

The England stopper had a scan on his injured calf which he claims was "clear", freeing him up for the Wembley showcase against Cardiff on May 17.

The 37-year-old has missed Pompey's last two league games after suffering the injury during his team's 3-1 defeat at Manchester City on April 20.

That raised fears that the veteran, who was shortlisted for this season's PFA player of the year awards, would miss out against the Welsh side.

But James told talkSPORT: "I had a scan and it's clear so I would describe myself as fit. But we'll see what the gaffer says."
