Can Batshuayi play today and which Chelsea players are fit?

Michy Batshuayi will not feature in Crystal Palace's squad to face Chelsea today, with the Belgium international ineligible to face his parent club.

As in 2018/19, the on-loan forward cannot face the Blues while not on a permanent contract at Palace, as Premier League rules dictate.

This leaves an attacking gap in Hodgson's selection, which will be announced on cpfc.co.uk, the official Palace app and across our social media channels at 11:30 BST.

Looking at Chelsea, Frank Lampard updated on squad fitness earlier this week - revealing:

  • Christian Pulisic is "in the squad" as he recoveries from a hamstring injury sustained in the FA Cup final.
