Crystal Palace were dealt a fitness boost today as Mamadou Sakho returned to training alongside recent signings Michy Batshuayi and Eberechi Eze.
The centre-back has been recovering from injury in recent months, but today made a big step forward in his return to fitness.
His challenge was a sizeable one, however, taking on Batshuayi just days after the frontman scored twice for Belgium. Add Eze to this as he strives for match fitness, and Sakho's return becomes even tougher.
This was the final training session before the Premier League returns, with the lads facing Southampton at Selhurst, looking to build on their recent unbeaten form in pre-season.
