Ismaila Sarr is still sidelined due to the ankle injury he picked up in last Sunday’s match against Manchester United.
-
Fortunately, there are “no injury concerns” following Wednesday’s clash against Burnley. He did note, however, that “there are a few knocks and some players experiencing pain”.
-
Glasner expressed gratitude for the Sunday kickoff instead of Saturday, acknowledging the additional day of rest after Fulham’s midweek game against Manchester City: “It’s a bit easier with three days in between matches. One more day to recover means everyone should be fine.”
-
Borna Sosa could return to the squad on Sunday after missing the last three games: “Sosa seems ready to join the matchday squad, providing us with another option.”
-
With Palace sitting just one point away from the top four, Glasner was asked about Champions League aspirations, stating, “May is early enough to consider that. We take it game by game. There are plenty of matches ahead, so it’s crucial to remain focused on the next game instead of thinking about the end of May.”
