Batshuayi ready for Crystal Palace debut after impressing Hodgson

Michy Batshuayi could make his full Crystal Palace debut in the FA Cup this weekend.

The on-loan Chelsea man will likely feature in the starting line-up against Doncaster Rovers after impressing Roy Hodgson in training.

"He is a very lively character and is pleased to be back in London," said the Palace boss.

"He knows some of the other players, they've made him feel welcome in training and in the matches he's played so far.

"He has been everything we hoped he would be."
