Roy Hodgson has provided a brief update on the fitness of his first-team squad before Crystal Palace travel to face Manchester City this weekend.
The Palace manager has revealed that while Max Meyer has not recovered since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's suspension-earning challenge last Saturday, right-back Joel Ward has returned.
Hodgson said: "It [team news] doesn’t change that much. Obviously we were hoping to recover Max Meyer but that’s not been possible. So we’re one further player down.
"Joel Ward who’s been missing for a long period, he returns. Scott Dann of course returned before the last game [Arsenal].
