Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits Ebere Eze is still being troubled by his ankle injury.
Hodgson delivered an update after yesterday's 1-1 draw at West Ham.
He said, I'm afraid the update is a little bit up in the air, because Eze is seemingly of the opinion that he's going to get over this injury very quickly whereas the medical staff think he's going to be out for a period of time. I know what I want, but I don't know what I'm going to get.
I think he's going to attempt to train with us over the next couple of days, which is great. That's extremely positive, but I don't know how optimistic I can be.
"The medical people are telling me the injury is such that it will take a longer period of time to recover from."
