Alan Pardew's men will take on Manchester United for the anticipated FA Cup final and they will be pleased to welcome back their goalscorer Zaha.
Back in April, the Premier League player suffered a buttock injury before his side took on Watford for the semi-finals and aggravated the strain during their vital 2-1 win at the Old Trafford, causing him to miss out last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.
Crystal Palace boss has revealed in his press conference that Zaha is still struggling with a muscle strain and is set to be sidelined for this weekend's league fixture against Stoke City. However, the Eagle's coach has confirmed that he is not too worried about the former Manchester United player's involvement in the FA Cup final which will be held at the Wembley stadium in two weeks.
"There's no way Wilf will play this weekend," said Pardew.
"We don't want to risk him. But he may play at Southampton."
"Wilf's a naturally fit guy. He did the injury before the semi-final and we monitored him afterwards and saw there was a slight tear."
"Wilf still has a bit of a problem, but should be fine by the final."
Can Wilfried Zaha who has had 42 appearances this season make it to the FA Cup final for the face-off against his former club?
