Crystal Palace got off to a good start under new manager Oliver Glasner, defeating Burnley. Josh Brownhill received a red card in the
first half, reducing the visitors to 10 men for the rest of the game.
For the most part, the match remained deadlocked until the floodgates erupted at Selhurst Park. Chris Richards, Jordan Ayew, and
Jean-Philippe Mateta all scored goals in a ten-minute span of action.
The victory lifted the Eagles eight points clear of the bottom three, keeping them out of the relegation picture. However, the squad is
still plagued by a number of injury concerns, with some players hoping to return in the near future.
With that said, here are the most recent Crystal Palace injury updates and comeback dates.
Crystal Palace have had several injury problems in recent weeks, including long-term injuries to Michael Olise, Cheick Doucoure, and
Rob Holding. Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Will Hughes, and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi are also facing issues.
That was all before the game against Burnley, and Joachim Andersen’s early substitution raised new concerns.
Crystal Palace fans were understandably concerned by Joachim Andersen’s early exit against Burnley, especially given the club’s
already lengthy absence list. Fortunately, the Eagles appear to have taken precautions to avoid harm.
Glasner informed the media following the game, via the official club website: “He [Joachim Andersen] told us he had a little cramp,
and of course we didn’t want to take any chances, so that was the reason.”
