Crystal Palace midfielder Eberichi Eze is delighted with the way he has recovered from an achilles injury suffered a year ago.

Eze says he can find positives from going through his recovery.

“I don't want to stop there, I don't want it to be the end," he told Palace's website. “My aim is to continue with all I can do in order to prepare for games and affect games to the best of my ability.

“It's been tough at times, it's been testing, but it's been a good experience for me because I know I feel better, I feel stronger. I feel mentally more capable to handle things that life throws at me. For me it's a positive experience because I know I've improved and learned from it.

“You have to become more resilient and capable of handling things. Difficulties aren't stuff that stop you anymore, you know they're a barrier you have to break through and I feel that's benefitted me majorly."
