Roy Hodgson is unsure how active Crystal Palace will be during the rest of the January transfer window, with injured players set to return next month. After hosting Southampton on Tuesday night, Palace don’t play again in the Premier League until February 1 and two weeks later they have the weekend of 14th-16th off. “They will almost be new players because it will be six weeks since they had a chance to compete in the first-team. McCarthy suffered a broken tibia and fibula for the Toffees in January 2018 and only made one appearance last season after recovering from the injury. We knew it would take a little bit of time,” Hodgson said.
