The news will be a massive lift to a side that is yet to win a Premier League game this year, and have just fired their manager and had to play 19-year-old Joe Whitworth in goal for the last two games.
The Eagles also have Jordan Ayew and Michael Olise back in training at Copers Cope Road after they travelled across the world to play for their respective countries.
Ayew was in Ghana for their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and flew out with the team for the second leg in Luanda.
