Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has the all-clear to take his place in the dugout when the Premier League resumes.

There had been doubt over whether the 72-year-old would be forced to miss the remainder of the season, should it restart, due to Government guidelines.

But the Daily Mail says Hodgson has been given the all clear to attend the start of training - to begin on May 18.

The first few days of training will largely include small grouped fitness drills, with very little tactical work being completed as clubs slowly work back towards more conventional sessions.

With that in mind, there had been a degree of doubt over whether Hodgson would skip the opening days of training.

But the former England boss is understood to be eager to play a full part in the Eagles' return to work later this month.

Likewise, it is also looking increasingly likely that Hodgson will be permitted to attend matches once the season recommences with restrictions set to be loosened further before the proposed June 12 start.
