Slav options grow ahead of Arsenal

|

ByramSam Byram and James Collins are set to join the squad which takes on Arsenal at the weekend.

And that looks likely to seethe signing from Leeds and fit again James Tomkins battling it out for the right sided defensive role with Michail Antonio being pushed into his attacking midfield role.

Collins has been missing since  the 1-0 win over Tottenham in February but is reported as being set  for a training ground return this week.

James Tomkins was back in the Palace squad having recovered from a calf injury and with the business end of the season upon us we could hardly be in better shape.

Manager Slaven Bilic said: “Ginger Collins and Sam Byram, they are going to come back Even without we would try to finish as high as possible and try to reach the (FA Cup) semi-finals.

“We have a big enough squad, a lot of energy and a lot of confidence.”
