Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has confirmed a double injury boost for his side ahead of Monday's Premier League encounter with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The Eagles are searching for their first win of the top-flight season at the eighth attempt, having been beaten 1-0 by Liverpool just before the October international break, a game that Daniel Munoz and Adam Wharton were both taken off prematurely in.
However, Glasner has revealed that both players are in a good place fitness-wise and are expected to be fine for Monday's fixture, although the same cannot be said for Chadi Riad (knee), Chris Richards (thigh), Cheick Doucoure (toe) and Matheus Franca (groin), as well as ineligible Forest loanee Matt Turner.
Palace's loss to Liverpool saw Glasner finally sacrifice the misfiring Jean-Philippe Mateta, who may have to accept another cameo role as Ismaila Sarr and Eberechi Eze support Eddie Nketiah up front.
Wharton's quick return to fitness from an adductor concern should see the Englishman link arms with Jefferson Lerma in the middle once more, as Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell occupy the wide positions.
A new-look backline of Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix and Trevoh Chalobah performed admirably against Liverpool last time out, so Glasner ought to see no need to make any alterations there either.
With Turner unable to face his parent club and out of favour anyway, Dean Henderson guards the goal on the back of making his first-ever senior England start in their 3-1 UEFA Nations League win over Finland.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Guehi, Chalobah, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Nketiah, Eze
