Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson has confirmed Jordan Ayew’s availability for selection for Palace ahead of their game against Fulham.

The Ghana striker picked up an injury in the team’s 1-3 loss to Aston Villa and had to be forced off in the 25th minute.

Palace assistant manager Paddy McCarthy stated Jordan Ayew suffered a dead leg but added further tests would be needed to confirm the extent of the injury.

Ahead of the game scheduled for today at Selhurst Park, Hodgson confirmed Ayew has recovered from the injury and is available to play against Fulham.

“[Jordan] is fine – he took a nasty blow, it gave him a dead leg but he trained fine, yes but we have also recovered Marc Guéhi as well, who picked up an injury playing for England. That has recovered well," the former England manager said.

Ayew has three assists in six games this season.

Kick-off for the game has been scheduled at 14:00GMT.
