The Eagles have had mixed results in pre-season since Sage took over from Oliver Glasner, with a 5-1 defeat of Swindon being followed by a 3-0 loss to Bromley last Saturday.

The Conference League winners are one of six teams taking part in the Como Cup in Italy and they are joined in Group A by Lens and Famalicão.

They will play 45-minute matches against the two teams and their first opponents are French fancies Lens, who finished second in Ligue 1 and won the Coupe de France under Sage last term.

There will be a familiar face in the Lens line-up in the form of ex-Palace striker Odsonne Édouard following his switch from Selhurst Park last summer.
