James Tomkins will line-up for Crystal Palace Under-23s today against Queens Park Rangers, playing his first minutes of competitive football since sustaining injury against Newcastle United in April this year.
The centre-back has been sidelined since being replaced by Scott Dann at St James' Park and will continue his recovery today with Richard Shaw's Development squad.
Tomkins did make the first-team squad against Tottenham Hotspur with Scott Dann and Martin Kelly both injured, however the 30-year-old did not feature on the pitch.
Today, in a 1pm kick-off, he will compete alongside Sam Woods - who earned his first first-team start against Colchester United in August - at the centre of defence.
