Crystal Palace defender Andersen looking forward to US trip

Joachim Andersen says he feels good after the first week of preseason at Crystal Palace.

The Dane is now preparing for their tour of the US.

Speaking to CBS Sports Golazo, Andersen said: “I've been quite a few times to New York, Miami once, so I've seen a little bit of America, but I've never been to Chicago or Detroit. I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of cities they are and hopefully playing two good games.

“Last week I was in Mallorca and I was training a little bit there and it was so hot, so I can imagine it's going to be some tough games with the heat over there!

“I feel good. Last week was the first week back in and you always need to get the legs going again. I feel a little bit tired, but hopefully it will be better."

Andersen also expects a good reception for Palace teammate and USA defender Chris Richards.

Andersen smiled: “Chris is a really funny character – he always has a smile on his face!

“He's a really good player and good guy and I talk with him a lot. He's really nice to be around and gives everything on the pitch, always."
