Roy Hodgson has a number of players back, including Mamadou Sakho, as Crystal Palace host Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.
The defender played 90 minutes for the Under-23s on Monday and is likely to feature in the matchday squad, while Jeffrey Schlupp has an outside chance of being included.
The Eagles manager will be without Cenk Tosun, with the Everton loanee expected to undergo knee surgery next week, and James Tomkins, who is expected to return soon.
Provisional Palace squad: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Cahill, Van Aanolt, McCarthy, Zaha, Kouyate, McArthur, Ayew, Benteke, Sakho, Milivojevis, Meyer, Townsend, Hennessey, Kelly, Riedewald, Schlupp.
