Eberechi Eze feels ‘so good to be back’ following his return to action for Crystal Palace U23 against Blackburn Rovers on Monday.
The former England youth international of Nigerian descent picked up an Achilles injury during a training session with the Eagles and that kept him on the sidelines for six months.
That knock came as a serious blow for the budding star who was already guaranteed a place in England squad to Euro 2020 – where the Three Lions finished as runners-up.
Although the winger was expected to be out until 2022, albeit, he featured for 62 minutes in Palace’s 2-1 defeat to the Rovers and that would be a piece of cheering news for manager Patrick Vieira.
