Crystal Palace vs Liverpool early injury news as 4 ruled out and 3 doubts

Crystal Palace are back in action in Saturday’s early Premier League game, hosting Liverpool as they continue their search for a first league game of the season. The Eagles have racked up three points so far, managing three draws up to this point.

Oliver Glasner’s men will need a big performance against Liverpool, who are currently top after a strong start to the season. Here we round up the early injury news surrounding both teams.

Harvey Elliott - Doubt

Elliott will be out until some time in October. Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said: "Harvey's injury is, of course, not a just big disappointment for him but also for us. He didn't play a lot in the first three games but he showed himself really well in preseason. He would have had a lot of playing time in the upcoming fixtures but that goes to someone else."

Federico Chiesa - Doubt

Chiesa picked up an injury with Slot saying earlier this week: “Federico trained with us yesterday, came in today with some problems and I’m not expecting him to be in the team tomorrow. We have to wait and see if he can managed to be in the team on Saturday.”

Chadi Riad - Out

Riad will be out until the end of the year with a knee injury.

Chris Richards - Out

Glasner said of Richards’ hamstring setback last week: "But we lost Chris Richards this week. He is not available for the next week as he has a hamstring injury.”

Cheick Doucoure - Out

Doucoure will be out for “several weeks” with an ankle injury, according to Glasner.

Matheus Franca - Doubt

Franca is said to have a chance of returning this weekend with Glasner saying of his recovery: “The same for Franca. It went quicker than expected.”

Holding is being kept away from the squad due to issues between him and Glasner.
