Crystal Palace can make his deyet for new recruit Ebere Eze when they face Southampton on Saturday for the first Premier League game, but the Eagles will miss several other players.
The former QPR leader has returned to education after a groin injury and, as he is not fit, will be part of the squad to face the Saints alongside Michy Batshuayi, who was ceded by Chelsea on Thursday.
Unfortunately for Roy Hodgson, it will be Gary Cahill, James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho (all hamstrings), Patrick Van Aanholt (shoulder), Nathan Ferguson (knee), Christian Benteke (foot) and Connor Wickham (undefined) for the crash. Dann’s also a shot doubt.
Southampton will be Stuart Armstrong at Selhurst Park.
The midfielder suffered a thigh injury when he was on duty to Scotland.
Defenseman Mohammed Salisu, signed through Real Valladolid, can make his debut for the Saints.
Crystal Palace Interim Team: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Kouyate, Mitchell, McArthur, McCarthy, Riedewald, Ayew, Batshuayi, Zaha, Hennessey, Jach, Kelly, Schlupp, Milivojevic, Meyer, Eze, Townsend, Pierrick, Henderson, Jach,
