Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on the verge of making his Crystal Palace returnRoy Hodgson is hopeful Ruben Loftus-Cheek will return for Crystal Palace within the next week, following an ankle injury lay-off. The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the key players for Palace since arriving on loan from Chelsea, but has been unavailable since December 28. "He was due to sign off with Chelsea on either Thursday or Friday and come back to us at the weekend. That was the plan but that was before this other minor injury which occurred which they now have to look at. "We are hopeful that is not going to be a major issue and we are hopeful to see him back at Selhurst Park very soon."
