It was a successful return to the Premier League for Marouane Chamakh after missing nearly a month out through injury as he featured as a late second half substitute in the Eagles’ 2-0 win against Leicester.

Chamakh picked up a hamstring injury in the 3-3 draw away at Newcastle in the league in late August and was quick to agree with the Palace manager, Neil Warnock about not rushing back too soon.

“I was happy to be rested [for the league cup tie against Newcastle] because last year I had the same injury, came back and after two games I was out again,” said the 30-year-old.

“I have worked really hard the past month after I got injured against Newcastle and we won today so everything was right.

“It was really good to take three points against Leicester because they were confident after their game at Manchester United, so this win is good for us, being solid and going into the Hull game.”

Instead it is Palace who go into the game away at Hull City today full of confidence. Neil Warnock’s side currently sit in ninth position in the table, albeit after just six games, and Chamakh puts a lot of that success down to the Palace captain fantastic, Mile Jedinak, who scored the second goal against the Foxes, making it two goals in two league games for the Australian.

“Last year he could have scored more but his chances were saved by the goalkeeper or he hit the crossbar,” said the former Arsenal striker.

“But this time everything is going in so it is good for him and it’s good for confidence.

“He’s our captain, which is good for us all because we listen to him and everything he says to us we try and do it, we’re very happy when he scored – it’s really good.”

With Fraizer Campbell, a transfer window signing, opening the scoring against Leicester and Andrew Johnson returning to the club, combined with attacking options in Yannick Bolasie, Jason Puncheon and Dwight Gayle, amongst others, Palace are not short of options up front, something that Chamakh is keen to embrace.

“It’s better when we have three or four strikers at the club,” Chamakh told the Croydon Guardian.

“It’s better for me and for the team to have than just one or two because we need to work everyone very hard in training and stay very good.

"I prefer it like that and I look forward to getting to know him [Andrew Johnson] very soon as I have only just returned from injury.”

In just over a season at the club the Moroccan international striker has had four managers; Ian Holloway, Tony Pulis, Keith Millen and now Warnock, so how does he find the new Palace manager?

“I played one game with him, his first game and was injured for two weeks,” explained Chamakh.

“He’s very different to the last manager I had before, we work very hard for him. It’s very special when we have a new manager, he talks different, we train differently but the most important thing is that we do everything and try everything to make him happy.

“We train hard and try to show him what we can do on the pitch; it works well at the moment so I hope it can be like that until the end of the season with him.”
