From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Republic of Ireland right-back Steve Finnan is expected to make his comeback from a knee injury in Fulham's first Uefa Cup tie, against Hajduk Split in Croatia. He sat out Saturday's 3-0 demolition of Sunderland, but is now in line to replace Abdeslam Ouaddou. The winger Luis Boa Morte is struggling with a knee problem while Louis Saha is out with a hamstring injury.
Igor Stimac, the former Derby and West Ham player, is expected to feature for Hajduk, whose head coach is the former West Ham and Everton player Slaven Bilic. Nino Bule, who played with Fulham's midfielder Junichi Inamoto in Japan, is out with a leg injury. The key striker Tomislav Anzeg moved to Hiroshima earlier this month and Petr Krpan, who joined from Zagreb, is not eligible.
