​Crystal Palace star Zaha hopeful to be back for Chelsea clash

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is aiming the home game against Chelsea on October 14 for his return from his knee injury.

The 24-year-old has been ruled out since picking up the injury in the opening-day 3-0 defeat to Huddersfield.

Speaking about his rehabilitation, Zaha told talkSPORT: "It's going well, I'm getting stronger. Hopefully I'll be back soon. I'm trying to be back soon for the Chelsea game.

"It's hard to watch as obviously I want to help the team going through this hard patch. That's why I'm working so hard at the gym to help the team as soon as possible."
