Palace missing trio for Hammers a false rumour

|

Rumours that Crystal Palace will be without Wilfried Zaha, James Tomkins and  Luka Milivojevic   for the weekend game against the Hammers are false

Whilst they all  picked up yellow cards in the game against Brighton and Hove Albion last night, the authoritative  www.soccerbase.com reveals this his takes their tally to four each for the season.

Thus they should be available – injury permitting – for the game against the Hammers as we go looking for our third win on the bounce.

Tomkins is set for an affectionate reception from the Hammers faithful but danger man Zaha – by some distance probably the most dangerous of the Palace team – is a worry and will need to be very tightly marked.

For the Hammers Marko Arnautovic is likely to miss the game but the Irons will be hoping to have Aaron Cresswell and Fabian Balbuena back for an important game in the team’s progress this season.

Jack Wilshere has a “small ankle ” but could be fit to take his place on the bench.
