I’ll fight for my place in Palace team, says Lee

Crystal Palace winger Chung-yong Lee has vowed to fight his way back into the Eagles side after not appearing for the club for six weeks.

The South Korean international has featured just 38 times in more than two years at Selhurst Park, scoring twice.

His last game was during Palace’s FA Cup fourth round defeat to Manchester City at the end of January.

Lee revealed his frustration at being left out of the matchday squad in recent weeks, but remains hopeful he will be given a chance to help drag Palace away from the Premier League relegation zone.

“We have been playing well and won the last two games, so I am happy for the team and the new players will help us,” he said.

“I am still hoping to be given a chance to help them more. It has been a difficult time for me, as I haven’t been on the bench for the last five games or so.

“I just need to focus to play every week, even if I just play in the second half. I need to keep concentrating, but it is not good for me not playing.

“I have two months left of the season. I want to play obviously, but I just want to show the manager in training that he can change his decision.”
