# Crystal Palace: Fans react to photos of Connor Wickham back in training

**Many Crystal Palace fans are reacting to a tweet which shows that striker Connor Wickham looks to be back in training following a recent [injury](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php).**

Twitter account [@cpfc\_xtra](https://twitter.com/cpfc_xtra/status/1358370605863751681?s=20) posted pictures which showed the Englishman back on the training pitch, and this has been a rare site recently.

It hasn’t gone exactly to plan at Selhurst Park but the forward showed promise before his move to the club as he had [featured](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873) in the past for the England under-21 side, for whom he scored six goals in 17 appearances.

Wickham’s biggest issue is his injuries. He has eleven goals for the South London side but he has missed at least[96](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873) games in total due to injury, with a cruciate ligament rupture causing him to miss 470 days of football at one point ([Transfermarkt).](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873)

When he has been fit, the 27-year-old has made [50](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873) appearances for Palace in all competitions, which is not a lot bearing in mind he has been at the club for [five years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873). His scoring tally is not great either as he has only managed [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-wickham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/95435/verein/873) goals for the Eagles.

### Here is how Palace fans reacted to the photos:

**“I give him one week back in training then he’ll be injured for the 1,000th time since he’s been at the club”**

**“Would genuinely love for him to get a new contract, reckon he’s still got a lot to give”**

**“He’ll probably pull a muscle signing his contract extension! Even if he is on his way back, it won’t last. I really feel for him with his injury record but he surely can’t be allowed to stay beyond this season. Best wishes to him for the future.”**

**“Zero excitement about this, be injured again soon, probably twist his ankle in the snow”**
