Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says they'll be careful with Nathan Ferguson's recovery.
The Palace manager confirmed that Ferguson had returned to training with the senior squad, but stated that Under-23s football would be his next challenge before joining the first-team matchday squad.
“That will be his first step," he said in his pre-match press conference. “What will be important for him is to do a couple of weeks of full training with the first-team first.
“Then the next step will be to play at least an hour with the Under-23s before thinking about playing with the first-team. He is doing full training now with the first-team.
“Nathan and [Eberechi] Eze are doing well."
