Everton captain Phil Neville hopes Louis Saha can stay fit and help the side to glory for the remainder of the season.[LNB] Saha made his return to action against Newcastle last weekend after three months out with a hamstring injury and he came off the bench to score the clinching second goal in the 2-0 win over West Brom on Saturday.[LNB]The former Fulham and Manchester United striker has seen his career blighted by a series of injuries over the last few years and Neville is praying the Frenchman finally gets an extended run of games under his belt.[LNB]Neville is a big admirer of Saha and believes the forward can give Everton an extra dimension if he can steer clear of injury.[LNB]"He's a match-winner and if we can get him on to the field 20 times, we have 20 good chances of winning a game," Neville told The Sun.[LNB]Fitness"If he stays fit he can go as far as he wants in the game, but the problem has been keeping him fit. [LNB]"When you see his physique his calves are bigger than my thighs.He's a freak of nature and has everything in his locker. We're all hoping this is his time."[LNB]Toffees boss David Moyes also feels Saha has a lot to offer if he can stay fit. [LNB]"We have to factor in the injuries but there was a period when he was as good as anything in the Premier League and we hope he still has those moments," noted Moyes.[LNB]
