Christian Benteke, who has not featured for the Eagles since Christmas, with his last appearance being at Palaces 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday, December 21, is a contender to return to the pitch.
The 29 year old is racing to be fit enough for this weekend’s clash against Arsenal, and if strong enough to play will provide a welcome boost for Palace.
Wilfried Zaha and Victor Camarasa are both in doubt for the game against Arsenal due to injury and Luka Milivojevic will miss the game against the Gunners due to suspension, after being sent off against Derby after a VAR review.
Arsenal: Calum Chambers will be out of action for a period of between six to nine months after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee during the Gunners 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea.
