WILFRIED ZAHA is ready to make an early return for Crystal Palace – but it could be too late to save manager Frank de Boer. Palace winger Zaha (left) was pictured this week in a knee brace, triggering fears he was out long-term.

But the Ivory Coast international could be back after Sunday’s trip to Burnley, seen as win-or-bust for under-pressure Palace boss De Boer.
