Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is delighted that his squad is beginning to return to fitness.

The veteran manager has been without many key players since the start of the season.

The likes of Ebere Eze and Michael Olise are still long term absences, but others are returning.

Not particularly [any new faces], but we don't have so many now who are really out of the question," Hodgson stated during a news conference.

Of course we still have [Dean] Henderson, the goalkeeper, and we still have Ebere Eze and Michael Olise, so still quite big names are out. Add to that James Tomkins, who picked up a calf strain.

Otherwise we have everybody back now and ready to play, so certainly the situation with regards to selecting the XI and selecting the bench is quite a different proposition than it was a few weeks ago."
