Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has shared some positive news regarding the injury status of Eberechi Eze and Eddie Nketiah ahead of the upcoming match against Newcastle. Eze, who hails from Greenwich, has returned to training after suffering a hamstring injury, while Nketiah, a Lewisham native, is also back in contention after being sidelined with a similar issue.
It is expected that Eze will make his way back into the starting lineup, potentially replacing Justin Devnney, who scored his first senior goal for the team in the previous match. Nketiah, on the other hand, is still aiming to open his goal-scoring account for the Eagles after his high-profile transfer in the summer.
In addition to the injury updates on Eze and Nketiah, Glasner mentioned that other players, such as Cheick Doucoure, have also returned to training after being out for several weeks. This influx of returning players is a welcome sight for the manager, especially as the team gears up for a hectic schedule with matches against Ipswich and Manchester City following the Newcastle game.
Glasner attributed the swift recovery of the injured players to the hard work put in during their rehabilitation process, as well as the dedication of the medical staff. He emphasized the importance of having a full squad available for the upcoming fixtures, highlighting the improved depth and options at his disposal.
With the return of key players and a positive atmosphere within the squad, Crystal Palace will be looking to secure vital points in the upcoming matches to climb up the Premier League table. The fans will be eagerly anticipating Eze and Nketiah’s contributions on the field as the team aims for a successful run of results in the coming weeks.
