Crystal Palace vs Liverpool injury news as 5 ruled out and 2 doubts for Community Shield

Crystal Palace are back in action on Sunday when they take on Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium. The Eagles are now just one week away from the start of the Premier League campaign, and this will be an interesting test against the Premier League champions.

Ahead of the fixture, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.

Alisson Becker - Available

Alisson rejoined training ahead of this game. Slot said recently: “He had to go back to Brazil for private reasons. That's far from ideal... for him to not be there in a game like this, and in pre-season, it's also not ideal if you miss out on part of the pre-season. But again, private life is more important in these matters than joining a game today.” Alisson should feature here.

Virgil van Dijk - Doubt

Van Dijk will go down as a doubt, he he was back in training this week despite missing recent friendlies.

Conor Bradley - Doubt

Bradley has been dealing with a muscular injury, and Slot has said it will be ‘tight’ for him to return here.

Joe Gomez - Out

Gomes has been confirmed as an absentee here. Slot said at the time of the injury: “He was, of course, with us for the first part of the week, but he had some Achilles problems. We thought it was better to assess it back in England. We hope and expect to have him back soon.” He added this week: “Unfortunately [Gomez] has a minor injury at the moment but he will be back with the team very soon.”

Alexis Mac Allister - Fit

Mac Allister will be available for part of the fixture. Slot has said: “[Mac Allister] will be in the squad,” said Slot. “He was out for two months I think, or longer because we didn’t play him in the last four games of the season. He trained with us since a week now, played 30 minutes, 45 minutes. So that’s not a situation where you would start a player [and] play him for 90 minutes. Starting is possible but definitely not for 90 minutes.

Ryan Gravenberch - Available

Gravenberch’s suspension will not be served until the first Premier League game, so he is available here.

Chadi Riad - Out

Chadi Riad is out until the new year with a ruptured ACL. Glasner said at the time: “Chadi has ruptured his ACL, so we have lost [him] for the rest of the season and even longer. There was no impact, and Chadi as well, it was just a normal situation in training ' so it's really frustrating.”

Eddie Nketiah - Out

Nketiah has a hamstring issue that is likely to keep him out until early to mid September.

Cheick Doucouré - Out

Doucouré had a nasty knee injury earlier in the year. Glasner said at the time: “After further assessments, Cheicky needs surgery on his knee, so we have lost [him] for the rest of the season. We hope [he] will return for pre-season.” Doucouré is not yet available and not likely to be risked.

Matheus Franca - Out

There has been no real update on when France will return from his injury..
