James played and lost in the 1996 and 2000 FA Cup finals

Portsmouth goalkeeper David James is relieved to have recovered from a calf injury in time to face Cardiff City in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.

The injury meant James, 37, missed the final three games of Pompey's Premier League season but he told BBC Sport: "The calf is fine, it is a big relief.

"I had a scan last Wednesday and the damage had basically healed up - everything is a OK."

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has a fully fit squad to choose from.

Defender Sol Campbell will play after overcoming a hamstring injury and midfielder Papa Boupa Diop is also back in training.

The only absentee is striker Jermain Defoe, who is cup-tied.

Redknapp added: "Everyone is fit and available, which is great but it makes picking a team difficult - I might have to disappoint one or two players."
