Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says they won't rush Ebere Eze's fitness return.

The midfielder is working his way back from injury.

And Hodgson cautioned: "When he got the injury we were told and knew, and he knew really, that it was going to take a certain number of weeks.

It was almost pie in the sky to believe that after one week or ten days he could be racing around on the field. So he's still continuing his rehabilitation. He still wants to get back as quick as he can.

But it's certainly nowhere near tomorrow, that's for sure. The last time I saw him he was still walking around with a boot on, I don't think he'd be able to play with that."
