Eberechi Eze will start for Crystal Palace Under-23s this afternoon in what is his first game back since May.
Eze ruptured his Achilles in training before Roy Hodgson’s final home game in charge of the team last season.
He has, however, now completed his rehabilitation and is building up his match fitness, using under-23 fixtures as a route back into the first team.
The attacking midfielder, who signed for an initial £16 million from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 2020, impressed in his first season at Premier League level, contributing six assists and four goals, including two stunning solo efforts against Sheffield United.
Earlier in October manager Patrick Vieira said: “He’s doing really well.
“He has started training with the team, but he’s still a couple of weeks away from getting involved because we have to be really, really realistic with the injury that he had and the time that he needs to be fitter to get involved.”
