JOE Ledley is in contention to return to Crystal Palace's starting XI against Burnley on Saturday after getting some minutes on international duty this week.
The Welshman came off the bench to play against Andorra, nearly three weeks after picking up a groin injury in the warm-up against West Ham in August.
And Palace boss Neil Warnock says he had to sign James McArthur after Ledley's injury, which is something he previously had at Celtic.
"He came off the bench and I was actually surprised he went to Andorra with him being injured, but I spoke to Chris Coleman and they were sensible," Warnock told the Advertiser.
"They were going to let Joe decide whether to train or play, so we're happy with that and it's good to have him back.
"But that's why I thought it was important to sign James McArthur because we just didn't have enough options there if anything were to happen to Mile Jedinak or Ledley.
"There are no other niggles for Saturday, obviously Marouane Chamakh is out for Saturday. He is being positive about it though and he's been way having some intensive treatment this week.
"He went to the same place for rehab from when he did something similar last time but he's optimistic."
