Crystal Palace will be looking to secure their first win of the month at the weekend.
Crystal Palace’s Scott Dann celebrates scoring their second goal
Crystal Palace have received a boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool this weekend as the London Evening Standard reports that Scott Dann is back in contention to play against the Reds.
The centre-back has not featured for the Eagles since coming off after just 18 minutes of their EFL Cup tie with Southampton more than a month ago.
The London Evening Standard reports that he had been suffering with a hamstring injury, but returned to training towards the end of last week.
And while the clash with Leicester City came too soon, the London Evening Standard adds that the 29-year-old will be ready to take his place in the team for the visit of Liverpool.
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew
The news of Dann’s imminent return will undoubtedly provide a massive lift to Alan Pardew’s men. In their captain’s absence, Palace have won just once – which was a narrow victory over bottom side Sunderland – and have taken just one point from their previous three games.
Along the way, they have conceded nine goals – including the two that Southampton scored after he was substituted – so Pardew will be hoping that having him back helps the side cope with the division’s joint highest scorers.
