Glenn Murray has returned to Crystal Palace from his loan with Reading.

The Croydon Advertiser says he will not be available for the New Year's Day clash at Aston Villa.

It has been confirmed to the Advertiser that Murray can play against Dover Athletic in the FA Cup on Sunday onwards, if selected.

The transfer window, which opens on Saturday, will close at 11pm on Monday, February 2, before clubs submit their 25-man squad list to the Premier League.
