Everton vs Crystal Palace early injury news as 7 ruled out and 5 doubts

Crystal Palace are now preparing for an away clash with Everton as they continue their search for their first Premier League win of the season. The Eagles are currently down in 16th in the still premature table, picking up just three points from their first five games.

Oliver Glasner’s men are hoping to avoid any kind of relegation battle this season, but they lost their two openers, since improving with draws against Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester United. Ahead of Palace’s trip to Goodison Park, we have rounded up all the injury news surrounding both teams.

Youssef Chermiti - Out

Chermiti has an ankle injury and is not likely to return until October. Dyche has said: "That one is a bit of a blow. He's done great in pre-season and looked sharp. We'll have to wait and see but it's certainly not going to be a couple of weeks, it will be longer than that."

Armando Broja - Out

Broja is out with a calf injury, with Dyche saying: “Armando [Broja] is making progress but obviously a longer term injury, and Keano is having a precautionary scan today to make sure he's okay."

Vitalii Mykolenko - Doubt

Mykolenko is likely to return from illness here. Dyche has said: “Mykolenko was ill but he was in today so we're hopeful that is him done.”

Jarrad Branthwaite - Doubt

Dyche said last week: "Jarrad [Branthwaite] is making progress, hopefully he gets involved in the game this weekend, it's looking like he will do with the Under-21's.” Branthwaite has missed the early stages of th

Nathan Patterson - Doubt

Patterson is close to returning but this one will likely come too soon. “Nathan Patterson, same as Jarrad,” Dyche simply said last week.

Seamus Coleman - Out

Coleman has a lower leg issue that will keep him out for some time yet. “Seamus [Coleman] is still injured and unfortunately it's going to be longer than we hoped,” Dyche said. “It's not going to be a quick situation, we're not sure on the timescale yet.”

Idrissa Gana Gueye - Out

Gueye is currently on leave due to a family passing. Dyche said: “Idrissa has unfortunately had a family bereavement so he won't be here.”

Chadi Riad - Out

Riad has a knee injury that will keep him out until at least October. Glasner has said of Riad: “The doctor tells us it will take 8-12 weeks, so it will take a bit of time. We all thought it was worse at the beginning, but the ACL is not ruptured and that’s important. It will take several weeks.”

Cheick Doucoure - Out

Doucoure is sidelined with an ankle injury and will not be available until late October. Glasner has said: "The tendon has to heal, so it’s a little bit of a bad situation for him, but he will be back in a few weeks. We are pleased that it’s not so serious. Because it was so painful, there was a worry it was a serious injury. He’s already working for his comeback."

Matheus Franca - Doubt

France has been out with a chest injury, but he is in contention to return this weekend.

Trevoh Chalobah - Doubt

Chalobah has been nursing an abdominal injury, but he has been progressing as he looks to make his Palace debut. He could be in contention for this one. Glasner said before the QPR clash: “He injured his abdominal muscle in his first session with us – it’s a really strange injury. He’s also not available tomorrow. It won’t take very long. He’s questionable for QPR and Man United as well.”

Rob Holding - Out

Holding is being kept out after falling out with Glasner. He is not going to be involved any time soon. "Rob is training individually at the moment,” Glasner explained. “We had a talk together and he knows the reason but it's something that stays between Rob and me."
