Tosun only joined Palace in January on a six-month deal. The injury also saw his chances of joining the London based outfit come to an end – the Eagles had a £20m buy option.
The striker managed to score one goal in five appearances for Palace.
Tosun struggled for playing time at Everton over the first half of the season but does have another two-years remaining on his contract.
The 28-year-old joined Palace hoping to get regular playing time and join the Turkey squad at Euro 2020.
Tosun will no longer be able to feature at the European Championships.
