Ferguson (knee) is recovering well and could join first-team training soon, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "It was Nathan Ferguson's first day training with the squad on Monday. But it will be the Under-23s squad for the first couple of weeks because we don't want to thrust him straight into the first-team squad in case he does any further damage."

Ferguson (knee) is recovering well, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Ferguson continues to rehab his knee, but he still doesn't have a date to return, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "The running he is doing at the moment is very controlled, so we're making certain we don't put pressure on the outside of the knee where - if it went wrong - it could possibly blow up and set him back in some ways."

Ferguson is working to return to fitness from a knee injury and isn't an option for Saturday's opener against Southampton, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Ferguson signed a three-year contract with Crystal Palace away from Championship side West Brom.
