Crystal Palace XI vs West Brom: Confirmed early team news, predicted lineup, latest Premier League injuries
Wilfried Zaha is available for Crystal Palace’s visit to West Brom this afternoon.
The forward has been out of action since last month after testing positive for coronavirus and self-isolating.
Zaha has missed the Eagles’ last two games - defeats to Burnley and Newcastle - but is now back in contention.
The 28-year-old has been training with Palace this week and is likely to lead the line today after returning to the fold.
“He was very disappointed to miss those last two games, but he has been with us since having his test and it proving negative,” said Hodgson.
“So we have been able to enjoy his presence with us in training this week and he is fit and ready to play.”
Palace are still without Connor Wickham, Nathan Ferguson and Wayne Hennessey through injury.
Hodgson confirmed, however, that Ferguson is progressing well and slowly being involved with the group.
