Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze, Nathan Ferguson - Crystal Palace fitness update ahead of Newcastle United

Crystal Palace are back in action on Saturday as they will host Newcastle United at the Selhurst Park. So now let's have a look at the current state of Palace squad fitness ahead of their clash with the Magpies. Wilfried Zaha's picked up an illness while away on international duty with Ivory Coast, though Patrick Vieira confirmed it was not Covid-19 related in any way. The Frenchman also confirmed that Zaha was already on the mend, and was expected to return to full training with the squad on Wednesday. It's been a long time coming for Eberechi Eze, but he seems to be finally ready to join matchday squad very soon. The 23-year-old suffered an Achilles tendon injury during training in May, but despite the initial prognosis ruling him out until early 2022, the creative midfielder has returned well ahead of schedule. Patrick Vieira will confirm on Friday whether Eze will make the squad for the game against Newcastle. Nathan Ferguson suffered knee and thigh injury, however, before the North London derby Vieira confirmed that Ferguson was also close to be back in action. The 21-year-old has started individual training and is getting closer to full fitness every day.   Source - football.london Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
