Crystal Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen insists Glenn Murray has not suffered a setback in his recovery from knee injury.
The Eagles striker has been out since suffering cruciate ligament damage against Brighton in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final.
Millen told the South London Press: "As far as Glenn is concerned, it is still ongoing. The timescale is the same.
"It was always going to be January time. Probably the best case is the start of January and the worst case is the end of January. Nothing has changed in that respect.
"He is fine, just following his programme."
