The 24-year-old had his knee brace removed last month after picking up the knock in the 3-0 home defeat to Huddersfield.

And now he is in the starting line-up for the Premier League's bottom club after returning to training last week.

He is a integral part Palace's team and his performances last season helped to keep Palace in the top-flight under Sam Allardyce last season.

He scored seven goals and provided nine assists to propel the Eagles to safety.

Zaha's return will provide a massive boost for Palace and their boss Roy Hodgson after last season's top scorer was ruled out for six weeks.

Roy Hodgson's men have had a terrible start to the season, losing their last two games to Manchester City and Manchester United respectively.

And it gets no easy this weekend once the league action resumes after the international break.

The South London side welcome reigning champions and capital rivals Chelsea to Selhurst Park.
