CRYSTAL Palace centre-back Ryan Inniss is set to return to training this week after five months out with injury.
The Academy defender is highly thought of by Palace, who sent him out on loan to Luton Town at the start of the year.
After scoring on his debut for the Hatters in a one-month spell, he stepped up to League One level with Gillingham and made his first appearance on February 14 in front of Tony Pulis' right-hand man Dave Kemp.
However, Inniss was injured shortly before half-time and ruled out for the rest of the season.
It is believed that had the powerhouse recovered sooner, he would have been included in the club's pre-season training tour to Austria last week and the USA.
But it seems the tour has come a couple of weeks too early and Inniss will now train with the Development Squad.
It is expected that Inniss will be sent out on loan again as Pulis keeps an eye on the talented stopper.
