Crystal Palace will head into Saturday’s Premier League matchup against Brentford without key duo Adam Wharton and Eddie Nketiah. The setback comes at a tough moment as the Eagles look to build momentum.
Nketiah remains out with a hamstring injury and will not feature again until after the November international break. His absence leaves Palace light in attack and forces Oliver Glasner to reshuffle his forward options once again.
Wharton will also miss the tie, adding to Palace’s selection headache in midfield. The young star’s energy and ball control will be missed as Palace prepare for another intense London derby.
There is some good news, though. Chris Richards has returned to training after missing the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool. However, Glasner will take a late call on his involvement. Jaydee Canvot, who completed the full 90 minutes at Anfield, will also be assessed before kickoff.
With injury challenges mounting, Palace will need to dig deep and stay sharp as they look to keep their run going and secure vital points before the international break blows the whistle.
