Aaron Ramsdale was seen wearing a special pair of gloves after he returned to the Southampton starting XI following his finger operation.
Ramsdale, 26, had been settling into life at Southampton after leaving Arsenal in the summer, though the club are bottom of the Premier League.
Having lost his No 1 spot to David Raya at the Emirates, he spent the majority of last season on the bench before departing the club for the Saints.
However, he has had to sit out the last five Premier League games having fractured his finger with James Trafford called up in his place.
The Saints claimed just one point from those matches, conceding 15 goals in the process.
And the return of Ramsdale was a welcome sight for Sunday's top flight encounter with Fulham.

The former Arsenal man was seen wearing a pair of four-fingered gloves following his injury
He was able to do so through wearing a unique pair of four-fingered gloves.
It was the club's first game since appointing Ivan Juric as their new manager on an 18-month contract.
Juric, who has had a decade-long career managing in Italy, replaces Russell Martin and takes over with Saints rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
This is already his second job of the season as he was sacked by Roma after just 12 games in charge in November, having only joined in September.
The newly promoted side have picked up five points in 16 games, winning only once against Everton, although performances were often encouraging under Martin.
