Crystal Palace defender Jeffrey Schlupp is set to resume training with the rest of his teammates while Cheikhou Kouyate is passed fit for their game against Brighton and Hove Albion, manager Roy Hodgson has disclosed.
Schlupp has been out of action since December 7 when he suffered a groin injury in a Premier League match against Watford while Senegal's Kouyate twisted his ankle against Newcastle United last Saturday.
While providing his team update ahead of Saturday's visit to the Amex Stadium, Hodgson said the African stars have returned from the treatment table but only Kouyate is available for selection.
