Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson provides Michael Olise injury update ahead of Sheffield United clash
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Michael Olise is available for tomorrow’s Premier League clash at home to Sheffield United.
The 22-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in the 3-1 win over Brentford before the New Year and missed the last three outings.
He has five goals in nine appearances to his name this season.
“He’s available – he has trained now,” Hodgson confirmed of the French youngster.
“Obviously, we have to be careful and the sports science people are urging caution, so we’ll see.
“He himself feels he’s fine, so I don’t have any concerns myself, but we will have to keep an eye on it because it is quite a long time since he played his last game.
“The injury situation, funnily enough, is pretty good.
“It is in stark contrast to how it was a few weeks ago.
“The only players we can’t call upon are the two who had operations, which are Cheick Doucoure and Rob Holding.
“Joel Ward is [also] still not back to full fitness, but he is actually quite close now so it won’t be long before we get him back as well.
“It is pretty good at this stage of the season to only have those three players missing.”
