Impact Riad is nearing a return to training, the last major step in his recovery from an ACL injury. The defender may not be ready for match action straight away, with the potential for games with the youth team after joining team training.

Impact Riad isn't an option for Sunday's clash due to a knee injury, this comes as a major blow for the center-back who just returned from a serious knee injury. It's a double-whammy for Palace, who lost Trevoh Chalobah to being recalled from his loan by Chelsea. Riad will hope this isn't a serious injury as he should push for starting minutes when fit.
