Wilfried Zaha to make early Crystal Palace return from Cote d'Ivoire duty

Wilfried Zaha is expected back in England today after being released by Cote d'Ivoire as he is yet to recover from a hamstring injury.

Despite still being injured, Zaha travelled for international duty after being selected for games against Rwanda and Liberia.

He had sat out their FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Watford on March 16 with a hamstring strain before leaving for the national team camp four days later.

According to Evening Standard, Palace’s medical staff were in constant contact with Zaha and their Cote d'Ivoire counterparts during his time away.
