Wilfried Zaha could be set to give Crystal Palace a major fitness boost ahead of their clash with Everton.
Roy Hodgson has confirmed that the Ivorian could play some part against Everton this weekend as he prepares to
Zaha had been an injury concern for the club after picking up a knock on international duty for the Ivory Coast.
A muscle strain sustained in the first of two games against the Central African Republic saw him return early from international duty.
It was suggested the Eagles could be without their star player for the game against Everton, however, that no longer appears to be the case.
Speaking ahead of the game against the Toffees, as reported on the club’s official website, Hodgson issued a fitness update on the player.
It’s good news that he’s close enough to be assessed to see if he’ll be fit enough to play, but you’re taking into areas of sports science and medicine that I’m not comfortable talking about.
My information is that he hasn’t trained with us since the injury but they’re hoping he’ll be able to train tomorrow and if he does, I guess he’ll be available to play but I won’t know that tomorrow.
Zaha’s return will be a huge boost for the Palace, who have been over-reliant on the player in recent years.
