Pape Souare hopes to be back in first-team contention imminently after returning to full training, having missed most of last season following a car crash.

The Senegal left-back had made just four appearances for the Eagles before he was involved in a two-car accident on the M4 near Heathrow Airport in September last year, leaving the player needing to be airlifted to hospital with a broken leg and jaw as well as other injuries.
