Eagles still without duo

13 September 2010 12:30
Darren Ambrose and Wilfried Zaha are still missing from the Crystal Palace squad for the visit of Portsmouth. Midfielder Ambrose, last season's 20-goal top scorer, has yet to recover from a leg injury and rookie striker Zaha serves the final game of his three-match ban. But Edgar Davids could return after missing Saturday's defeat at Reading due to personal reasons and Tottenham loanee Jon Obika hopes to shake off a calf strain. Recent loan signings James Vaughan and Anthony Gardner should make their home debuts while Pablo Counago is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up. Defenders David Wright (calf) and Lee Hills and winger Sean Scannell (both knee) are still on the sidelines.
