Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa injury news as 13 ruled out and 2 doubts

All the latest injury news surrounding Crystal Palace and Aston Villa as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace are back in action on Wednesday evening as the busy winter schedule continues to unwind. The Eagles are on a rocky run currently, not winning any of their last seven games across all competitions, a run they continued with a defeat to Newcastle United last weekend.

That run has seen Palace drop to 14th despite being in and around the top four in the first quarter of the season. Villa are enjoying a much better run of form, currently in third place and winning 12 of their last 13 games across all competitions. Here we round up the latest injury news surrounding both teams ahead of this one.

Ross Barkley - Out

Barkley is out until February with a knee issue.

Amadou Onana - Out

Onana is expected to be out towards the end of the month with a hamstring issue.

Evann Guessand - Out (International)

Guessand is away for the African Cup of Nations.

Pau Torres - Doubt

Torres has a chance of returning here. Unai Emery has said: “We're training now, after the press conference. We'll see how the players are after the match we played on Saturday. Tyrone and Pau are close, but I don't know if they'll be available or not.”

Tyrone Mings - Doubt

The same update applies to Mings.

Daichi Kamada - Out

Daichi Kamada is going to be out until some time in February. Glasner has confirmed: “It is how it looked. It’s a serious hamstring injury, and he will be out for at least 8-10 weeks. It’s not a normal muscle injury; it was just an incident with his landing - he overstretched everything, the full weight on the front, and that’s why it happens.”

Nathaniel Clyne - Out

Clyne is going to be a few weeks out. Glasner has said: “Nathaniel Clyne will return for Chelsea.”

Ismaila Sarr - Out (International)

Sarr is away for the African Cup of Nations.

Cheick Doucoure - Out

Doucoure is returning from a long-term issue and won’t be back for a couple of weeks yet. Glasner said in his last update: “It takes time. I can’t tell you the date Cheicky will be back with us. [It's about] getting him stable and consistent. He also had a setback, so he will be out for a few weeks.”

Jefferson Lerma - Out

Lerma is out for another 10 days with concussion. Glasner has said: “Jefferson Lerma is out due to concussion protocol and returns against Sunderland.”

Daniel Munoz - Out

Munoz is not due back until the Sunderland game. Glasner said at the time of the injury: “It's bad news. We will miss Dani for a few weeks; he will undergo surgery. The prognosis is 4-6 weeks, then he should be ready to play. But always, when you undergo surgery, you never know. We are always cautious. It doesn't look so serious.”

Rio Cardines - Out

Cardines is on a similar timeline. Glasner has said: “Rio had a few weeks ago a setback - a muscle injury. I don’t know exactly [how long he will be out] - four or five or six weeks.”

Chris Richards - Fit

Glasner has confirmed: “Chris Richards is back - he is not able to start - but he will be on the bench.”

Chadi Riad - Out

Riad is not ready to return yet. Glasner said before Christmas: “Chadi is doing better - he's now taking part in team training, and now, it’s of course, keeping him in training, seeing how he reacts and getting him back into his best shape. That's why he needs sessions with the U21s. If you feel right, then it's the right moment - I don’t know when it will happen.”

Eddie Nketiah - Out

Nketiah is out with a hamstring issue. Glasner said on New Year’s Eve: “Eddie is out for this game, so let’s see for the next game. We don’t know exactly how long it will take - we’ll have to take it game by game. It’s a little bit his muscle, but we don’t know right now how serious it is. Of course, he’s had a few [hamstring] issues this year, and that’s why we are quite cautious...”
