Crystal Palace boosted by two injury returns

Crystal Palace will be boosted by the returns of two injured players when they face Southampton this week.

The Eagles will welcome back both Joachim Andersen and Luka Milivojevic following their spells on the sidelines with both men being confirmed as part of the matchday group.

"Joachim started training with the team so will be in the squad. Luka is feeling better so will be in the squad as well. The only one injured at the moment is Macca (James McArthur)," manager Patrick Vieira confirmed to the press.

"Tomorrow (Wednesday), we'll see how players are feeling and make a decision. This morning, two days after a game, everyone's feeling a bit stiff but there's nothing to worry about."

The central defender has featured 12 times within the Premier League this season, while the Serbian midfielder has made seven appearances, with neither man having scored.

Crystal Palace ended their four-match streak without a win on Sunday when they defeated Everton 3-1, and they are currently sat 13th in the table.
