Glasner confirmed that Adam Wharton and Eddie Nketiah are fit to return to the squad for the upcoming game. He stated that Wharton is "fit enough to start" after missing two weeks of training.
Wharton started training on the pitch 10 days ago and has been with the team for a few days. Nketiah, who missed the entire pre-season, looked good in training and may be available to play, although Glasner wants to see how the game goes.
Glasner also confirmed that goalkeeper Walter Benitez dislocated his little finger in training and will miss at least the next two games. He expects Benitez to return after the Liverpool game, but he will likely miss the West Ham and Liverpool matches.
Glasner praised his medical team for helping players like Nketiah and Wharton return to the team earlier than expected. He believes that having fresh legs on the field can be beneficial for the team and give the defenders a challenge.
Glasner also mentioned that Ismaila Sarr will start training with the team on Sunday after the West Ham game. He commended his medical department, rehab team, and players for their hard work and dedication to returning to the team as soon as possible.
Glasner expressed his gratitude to the medical team for their efforts and credited them for helping the players recover from injuries. He emphasized the importance of having every player available and fit for the team.
The return of Nketiah, Wharton, and possibly Sarr is a boost for Crystal Palace ahead of the West Ham match.
