Palace skipper Jedinak targets weekend return

Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak hopes to be back in action for the clash with Arsenal this weekend. The Australian midfielder has not played under new boss Alan Pardew since returning from the Asian Cup with an ankle injury.

"We'll just have to wait and see if I play against Arsenal, but at this stage it is going really well," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"I'm not the best of watchers. When you have to go to a game and watch your team, I'm not the best at that, but it is what it is.

"I'm there and I support my team-mates. It's been great to feel the buzz around here. I'm itching to get back out there and be involved in that first hand.

"But like I said, since I've been back the atmosphere at the club has been fantastic and the boys' efforts in recent weeks has been fantastic as well."
