# Crystal Palace: Fans react to images of Luke Dreher’s return

**Many Crystal Palace fans are buzzing to see academy prospect Luke Dreher back playing following a spell on the sidelines due to injury.**

The club [tweeted](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1361350155715436555?s=20) out some photos of him during the match, and he replied on Twitter [saying](https://twitter.com/DreherLuke/status/1361405296636268553?s=20): ‘Thanks to everyone who’s stuck by me. Amazing feeling being back’.

The player was given a first-team debut back on the last day of the 2018/19 season in a victory against AFC Bournemouth ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luke-dreher/profil/spieler/432293)), however he has consistently struggled with injuries and therefore it was great for all associated with the club to see him return for the U23’s yesterday in the Premier League 2 match against Burnley.

To make his return even better, the Eagles side [won](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1361336290504024067?s=20) thanks to a late winner and hopefully Dreher’s return will add some great quality for the young side for the rest of the season.

It is definitely needed as they currently [third](https://int.soccerway.com/national/england/premier-league-2-division-two/20202021/regular-season/r59904/) in the division, and will need to keep up the good form so that they can maintain their place in the play-offs.

### Here is how Palace fans reacted after seeing the photos:
