Dann has not featured for the Palace first team in a competitive fixture this year, while Wickham has only managed to play in a single Premier League encounter since November 2016.
Manager Roy Hodgson will be hoping the pair have no further setbacks as they will be needed for what could be another tough season battling for Premier League survival.
