Guaita and Hennessey hand Palace huge fitness boost

Crystal Palace have been handed with a huge fitness boost following the news that Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey have both been passed fit.

The London Evening Standard reports that both players are available for selection to face Southampton on Wednesday night.

The news will no doubt delight Roy Hodsgon, who had been facing a potential goalkeeper crisis.

Speaking ahead of the midweek games, Hodgson confirmed the good news.

Well all goalkeepers are fit now so that is good. I have a selection to make, but the good thing is the two that have been missing from the last two games due to injury are both available for selection alongside Julian Speroni. 

All three goalkeepers at the club, all three senior goalkeepers, are fit and able to be selected and want to be selected.

He was forced to call upon 39-year-old Julian Speroni after both Guaita and Hennessey suffered respective injuries.

Brazilian youngster Lucas Perri was signed earlier in the January window, on a loan deal that runs until the end of the season, however, he was not expected to be thrown straight into the first-team picture.

Hodgson will be hoping that the pair’s return will come as a timely boost for Palace as they look to pull away from the bottom three.

matchday.
