Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has given a positive injury update on his squad ahead of this weekend's fixture against Leeds United at Selhurst Park.
Coming into this weekend, Palace sit just above the relegation zone in 17th having only won one game this season back in August where they beat Aston Villa 3-1.
The Whites will be looking for a return to winning ways after their 0-0 draw against Villa last weekend and will want to rekindle striker Rodrigo's white-hot form from before his shoulder injury.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Vieira confirmed positive news about multiple players that are currently out of action, including centre-back Joachim Anderson who is a doubt for this weekend after a calf injury in training last week.
"Joachim Andersen trained with the team the last couple of days – it’s looking good," he said before confirming Nathan Ferguson is back on the grass with his teammates and "is progressing" with his ankle issue.
Vieira also spoke about Nathaniel Clyne who had to be subbed off early against Chelsea last weekend after losing an aerial duel with Blues defender Thiago Silva.
Clyne suffered "deep lacerations" to his ankle, but Vieira confirmed no lasting damage has been made and the injury was healing nicely.
"Nathaniel went to the hospital and is back at home now. He came in for training once every two days to do some work with the physios but it’ll be a couple of weeks until he’s back on the field."
