Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has hinted that Ghana striker Jordan Ayew will be starting against Fulham in the English Premier League on Monday.

Ayew featured at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, representing his country Ghana as they exited at the group stage. He made three appearances and provided two assists as Black Stars finished bottom of their group with three points.

The topflight resumes after it was halted for six weeks due to the World Cup, challenging clubs across the tournament to maintain match fitness.

"[Jordan Ayew and Joachim Andersen] are good. After they went out of the World Cup they had a couple of days and have been back in training since. They’re really good mentally, physically and are ready to go again," Patrick Vieira told the club's official website.

"The two players we had came back in really good shape; mentally they were good. Looking at the [League Cup] game between Liverpool and Man City, the [other World Cup] players are in a good place."
