CHERRIES are set to once again be without Marcus Tavernier and Hamed Traore for this weekend’s trip to Crystal Palace.

The pair have been missing in recent weeks due to hamstring and foot injuries respectively.

Asked for a team news update ahead of the clash at Selhurst Park, boss Gary O’Neil: “Junior Traore is still out, I’m very hopeful we will see him back on the pitch before the end of the season.

“Tav is still out. I think the rest of them are in a good place and should all be available. We have a strong group available to us.

“Kieffer (Moore) is back, so that will be a plus. He’s come off the bench a couple of times recently and he gives us another attacking outlet.

“So I’m pleased to have Kieffer back available.”
