Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says Jordan Ayew will be available for today's clash with Liverpool.
The striker had been on international duty with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, but returned to England following the Black Stars' exit from the tournament.
He leaves teammates Wilfried Zaha and Cheikhou Kouyaté in Cameroon with Senegal and Ivory Coast respectively.
Discussing whether Ayew is ready to start after his involvement, Vieira said: “We don't know, we still have a couple of days before the game. He was in today and took part in the first part of training. We will have a discussion tomorrow [Saturday] to find out how he's feeling."
Meanwhile Liverpool are without Egypt's Mo Salah, Senegal's Sadio Mané and Guinea's Naby Kieta, however Vieira cautioned they are a powerful team regardless.
“This is a team," the Palace manager said. “It's not just about those two players they're missing. Obviously with those two [Salah and Mané] they're stronger but there are still players playing really well with fantastic talents.
“The best way to describe this team before talking about the individual talent is as a team. This is a strong team."
