Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson believes the return of Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp and Cote d'Ivoire attacker Wilfried Zaha is a massive boost for their Premier League ambitions.
The two players are gradually warming themselves back into full match fitness after spending some time in the treatment room.
Palace are currently 12th on the league table as the championship returns with matchday 30 action after the international break.
