Ange Postecoglou will make a late call on Destiny Udogie given the quick turnaround to Crystal Palace on Friday night.
Having been substituted on 56 minutes in our 2-0 win over Fulham last time out, Ange revealed that the full-back was feeling fatigue at half-time and will now wait until tomorrow to make a decision on his selection ahead of our trip to Selhurst Park (8pm kick-off).
Pape Matar Sarr was another who was replaced on the hour mark against the Cottagers with our Head Coach confirming the midfielder had an illness in the build-up to the game but has recovered and trained well this week.
"With Destiny, we're going to have a look and assess as it's a short turnaround so we'll see how he goes today and we'll make a decision tomorrow," said the Australian. "Pape's fine. He went into the game with a bit of an illness but he's bounced back well and trained well today."
In a boost to our midfield, Yves Bissouma is available for selection after serving his one-match suspension against Fulham which Ange sees as a positive dilemma ahead of deciding the starting team.
"I have those decisions every week," added the 58-year-old. "The team did well on Monday night but it's good to get Biss back available, it's going to be a tough game and having him back available for the team is going to be important for us."
