Illness cleared for Thursday

Hughes (illness) is back available for Thursday's Conference League second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk after recovering from his illness, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "The good news is that Hughes is back"

Analysis: Hughes missed Sunday's defeat due to the illness, though his absence had a limited impact given that he had gone unused in the previous fixture as well. His return gives manager Oliver Glasner an additional option heading into a crucial European second leg, with Crystal Palace looking to advance in the Conference League.

Misses out with illness

Hughes was out for Sunday's 3-0 loss to Bournemouth due to an illness, according to Bobby Manzi.

Analysis: Hughes was missing from Sunday's rough loss, and the reason why is more clear following the game, as he was suffering from an illness. The good news is he should make a quick turnaround and return in the next week, facing Everton on May 10. He went unused in the last contest, so his absence was not a major one for the team sheet.
