Palace Star send a strong message to fans ahead of Nottingham Forest game.
Crystal Palace star returns to training as Oliver Glasner handed double boost ahead
On Monday night, Crystal Palace will travel to Nottingham Forest in an attempt to secure their first league victory of the season.
Midfielder Cheick Doucoure has returned to training and is expected to play for Crystal Palace against Nottingham Forest on Monday night, which is finally some good news in South London. Due to a foot injury he sustained early last month, the midfielder, who contributed when he came off the bench against Chelsea, has missed the last two games.
Eagles manager Oliver Glasner, who is under pressure to turn things around and get the squad their first league victory after an oddly lackluster start, will greatly benefit from his comeback. Given that their game is on Monday night, LondonWorld has been informed that Doucoure returned to training on Monday and has a good chance of making the squad.
The return of Colombian right-wing back Daniel Munoz to training after suffering an injury in the team’s 1-0 loss to Liverpool that prevented him from playing in his nation’s World Cup qualifying match against Chile is another encouraging development for the Eagles.
The return of this pair will provide under-fire manager Glasner more bodies and, ideally, a stronger tactical structure that will result in the season’s first victory, since Palace has struggled this season and needs motivation.

They recovered from a sluggish start to finish 10th in the league table last season, surpassing their bitter rivals Brighton and matching their best result in the top division.
However, the team has unavoidably been rocked by the departures of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, Joachim Andersen to Fulham, and the diligent Jordan Ayew to Leicester City. At the City Ground, they will be hoping that their Europa League-winning manager can salvage their season after seven games.
With three points out of a possible 21, the Eagles are now ranked 18th in the league standings.
