‘Unique’ 25-year-old Crystal Palace player could be back in time to face Tottenham now | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s opponents on the weekend could be boosted by the return of Eberechi Eze for the game in north London.

Ange Postecoglou’s side return to action on Saturday against the Eagles after a weekend off due to the postponed fixture against Chelsea.

But it seems Oliver Glasner will have one of his main players missing through injury whilst seeing another in Eze return to the fold.

Eberechi Eze injury latest

According to South London Press, Eze is expected to return to the matchday fold having returned to first-team training last week.

The 25-year-old has been out for a number of weeks now with a hamstring injury, but it seems he could make his return under the new Palace boss this weekend.

Hailed as ‘unique‘ by former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, the Englishman has even been linked with interest from Spurs just last summer.

However, the Eagles now look set to be without their star defender in Marc Guehi who suffered a hyper-extended knee earlier in the month.

Guehi has missed the last three Premier League games with the injury and looks set to miss the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium too.

Tottenham injury news

It is not just the Eagles who are going into the game with injury concerns on the weekend.

Postecoglou could still be without Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro who were absent for the recent defeat against Wolves.

The Spanish right-back has provided fans with some optimism ahead of the game on Saturday with a message on his social media accounts.

And reliable journalist Alasdair Gold has even suggested Udogie could be a potential return for the game against the Eagles.

One player who has been missing for the large majority of the season now is the Israeli winger Manor Solomon.

The forward has been absent after suffering a knee issue which required surgery, he is now expected to be back in the fold ahead of the weekend.

But actually participating in the game may be seen as a step too far for Solomon having been absent since October.
