Clinton Morrison

Clinton Morrison will hope to fire Palace back to winning ways as he returns to the side for the friendly at Carshalton.

The Irish international had been on an extended holiday following World Cup duty with his country and has just completed a week's training.

Youngsters Will Antwi and Wayne Routledge, along with keeper Lance Cronin, are added to the squad.

Dean Austin will sit out the trip as he has injured his knee, but Andrew Frampton is fit again.

Trevor Francis said: "Clinton's worked hard all week. He's done well and looked quite fit, so I've decided that I'll include him in this squad.

"Austin's injured. He was unable to play at Bournemouth because he suffered a problem with his knee so he's been having treatment.

"He won't be able to play on Saturday but we're hopeful that he'll be available for the two games next week against Cheltenham and Swansea."

The reserves travel to Selsey for their first pre-season friendly.
