Schlupp in matchday squad v United with Hodgson providing positive update

Roy Hodgson has confirmed his options will be boosted against Manchester United tomorrow night, with Jeffrey Schlupp fit enough to make the matchday 18.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Eagles manager revealed: "The doctors and medical people are wary, once again, having been out of football for a long time, how many minutes he [Schlupp] could safely play.

"But it’s very good to have him available at least and he himself feels good and would be very happy to play the number of minutes I feel I could give him."

Hodgson also confirmed that James Tomkins has joined Schlupp in returning to training.
