Jack Butland has joined his Crystal Palace teammates on the grass at Copers Cope ahead of the club's game with Leeds United.
The Palace goalkeeper was back in action alongside Vicente Guaita, Sam Johnstone and 18-year-old Owen Goodman, who stepped-up from his duties with the Under-21s.
Goodman wasn't the only prospect who joined the first-team this week, with 16-year-old Jake Grante also put through his paces.
In the gallery below, you can see the lads prep for the Leeds clash this weekend – and keep an eye out for Patrick Vieira flashing some of his old skills.
