JONNY Williams completed 45 minutes for Crystal Palace's U21 side on Tuesday and could be in contention for the first team at Hull City this weekend.
The Wales international has been out of action since damaging ankle ligaments in September in a World Cup qualifier against Croatia.
He came through unscathed in yesterday's 4-3 win against QPR U21s, featuring in the opening half and witnessing a last-minute winner for the young Eagles.
Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen has told the Advertiser: "He came through the match fine and is back in today.
"He may come back into the squad tomorrow for full training, but he already had a full week of training before yesterday's U21 game.
"It's great to have him back. Certainly, I think he'll come back into the squad - you want the likes of Jonny around as he livens it up and he's a great kid to work with.
"I will check with the physio tomorrow but he's a fit young man anyway.
"He could come into the squad, indeed."Follow us on Twitter @AdvertiserSport
