Crystal Palace posted footage of Eberechi Eze joining in with first team training on Saturday.
As to be expected, it didn’t take long until a number of Eagles fans went wild at the official club update on social media.
The attacking midfielder has been sidelined since May following a freak Achilles injury in training but he appears to be edging closer to a Palace return.
Reports back in August suggested that Eze was well ahead of schedule with his recovery, and it appears as if he could return before the year is out.
He is yet to feature under Patrick Vieira, but after posting an individual drill on his personal Twitter profile last week, he has now joined in with group training.
The 23-year-old was all smiles and participated in a passing drill, which was shared on Palace’s official Twitter channel.
Palace fans react
Here is what these Eagles supporters had to say in reply, with many sharing their excitement over the footage.
“Best day of my life icl”
“Tears in my eyes”
“oh my days”
“Oh myyyyy”
“Can’t even begin to describe how happy this makes me.”
“Oh man I can't wait for this young man to be back balling.”
