Everton vs Crystal Palace early injury news as 5 ruled out and 2 doubs for Premier League clash
All the early injury news surrounding Crystal Palace and Everton as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace return to Premier League action on Sunday when they face Everton on the back of Thursday night’s Conference League clash with Dynamo Kyiv. The Eagles have been superb so far this season, and last weekend’s huge win over Liverpool meant they remained the only unbeaten team in the Premier League at this stage of the season.
Everton have enjoyed a solid start to the season, and they go into this one in ninth having picked up eight points from their first six games after drawing with West Ham on Monday. Here we round up the early injury news surrounding both teams.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Out (Suspended)
Dewsbury-Hall will serve his one-game suspension here after reaching the yellow card limit. Moyes said after the game: “I thought the booking for Dewsbury-Hall was a really shabby decision. It’s a really poor decision, it’s not a free-kick, never mind anything else. I can’t believe he’s got a yellow card for it. It’s quite ridiculous.”
Jarrad Branthwaite - Out
Branthwaite is not expected to return until after the international break. Moyes said last week: “Fine. He'll not be available for Monday, if that's what you're talking about. We're expecting him back shortly [with the group], but not quite yet.”
Merlin Rohl - Doubt
Rohl missed the game on Monday and will remain a doubt here until confirmed otherwise.
Will Hughes - Doubt
Hughes picked up a knock on Thursday night. Glasner explained: “He got a knock on his thigh, on his quad, a dead leg, and he was limping. We have a great medical department, so I hope that he will be available for Everton.”
Chadi Riad - Out
Glasner has confirmed some good news. He said: “Chadi looks like he will return around the next international break, so it’s good.”
Cheick Doucoure - Out
Glasner said around three weeks ago: “We hoped that Cheicky could return for the Austria camp for training. We think Chadi [Riad] will return after his ACL [injury] in October or November. Now it looks like the timeline of Cheicky is more or less the same.”
Caleb Kporha - Out
Glasner has said: “Caleb has problems with his back and is not able to train and has been out the whole pre-season - we don’t know when he will return.” Glasner added last week: “It’s just Caleb Kporha who can’t train at the moment.” He will remain out here.
