Crystal Palace vs Leeds United early injury news as 2 ruled out

All the early injury news surrounding Crystal Palace and Leeds United ahead of their Premier League clash.

Leeds, meanwhile, have slipped back into trouble and are now just three points ahead of the drop zone, and with West Ham in such good form, there will be some concern growing in Yorkshire, even if they still aren’t one of the favourites to go down.

This could be another crucial game for Leeds, while Palace can set their sights on a top-half finish again and will be hoping to take another step towards that. Here we round up all the early injury news surrounding both teams.

Joe Rodon - Doubt

Farke said before the last game: “It was from my side a bit of a precaution because he was struggling before the game on Tuesday, a bit with hamstring problems. So I didn’t want to take the risk today.” The defender could well return here.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Doubt

It’s a similar story for Calvert-Lewin. Farke said before the last outing: “Dominic had slight problems with his knee in the last days. He didn't feel ready to be involved.”

Sebastiaan Bornauw - Doubt

Bornauw has been struggling with illness, but he may well return here.

Noah Okafor - Doubt

The striker could well return after a recent spell out. He didn’t quite make the last game.

Cheick Doucoure - Out

Doucoure is looking to return before the end of the season, but it will be May at best after a long spell out.

Eddie Nketiah - Out

Nketiah is out until April with a hamstring issue. Glasner has confirmed: “Eddie Nketiah won’t be available before April. So we’re pushing hard to have him back in the team.”

Daniel Munoz - Doubt

The versatile wing-back could return here. Glasner has said: “Daniel will miss this game. He’s working hard with our medical staff to be ready for the Leeds game.”
