On-loan Evans returns

Trevor Francis has called winger Stephen Evans back from his loan spell with Swansea City.

Swans boss Colin Addison had hoped to keep Evnas on for another month, but Palace need him as cover for injuries.

Addison said: "Trevor gave me a ring, just to explain their situation. They have a few injuries, and Stephen is a member of their first team squad, so they need him back at Selhurst Park.

"There's also the situation that Trevor has just taken over there, so he wants to get to know Stephen better. The lad has done well for us, and it would have been nice to keep him longer, but it's just not possible.

"He'll play at Macclesfield, and I'm sure he'll be doing his utmost to ensure we get into the third round, even though he won't be here for it!"
