Fulham boss Jol confident Ruiz fine after spotkick miss

Fulham boss Martin Jol believes Bryan Ruiz is ready to catch fire after his performance last night against Chelsea.

Missing the decisive penalty was harsh on Ruiz, who was outstanding 10 days after his disastrous debut.

Jol dismissed suggestions the striker could suffer a setback as a result.

The Fulham boss, who insisted his side should have had a second spot-kick in normal time when Oriol Romeu appeared to shove over Orlando Sa, said of Ruiz: "He's a confident player.

"The only thing he needs is rhythm, coping with the English style."
