English midfielder of Nigerian descent Eberechi Eze has expressed satisfaction upon returning to action in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
The midfielder, who had been sidelined with an ankle injury, made a massive impact in his comeback, contributing to the team’s impressive performance at Craven Cottage.
Eze’s return is a boost for Crystal Palace, as the 26-year-old has been instrumental this season. He has accumulated 6 goals and 6 assists across all competitions.
“I think it’s a good performance,” Eze told Premier League Productions. “We did what we wanted to do today. It was important to get back to winning ways and we take that into Tuesday.”
“I feel like we believe that we can win every single game that we play. It doesn’t matter who we’re facing. Away from home it’s been working. I think at home we’ve got a bit of work to do, but we’re going into Tuesday (a home fixture with Aston Villa) really confident, so we believe.”
Reflecting on his time away from the pitch, Eze noted, “It’s been a little bit of time needed to just get my body right and to get feeling right. It’s actually been a tough couple of months, but I’m happy to be back and feeling good again.”
Crystal Palace will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Aston Villa at home on Tuesday, seeking to improve their standing in the Premier League.
