Palace boss Neil Warnock does not expect striker Shefki Kuqi to return to Selhurst Park.
The Finn picked up an injury in his first game back at Ipswich on loan and it was thought that may have spelled an early end to his temporary move.
However, Warnock has no expectation of seeing the player he placed on the transfer list last month.
When asked whether Kuqi would be coming back to Palace, he told the Croydon Advertiser, "No, not that I know of."
