'Be calm' - How Eberechi Eze reacted as two Crystal Palace stars set to be ruled out for weeks

Crystal Palace recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season, but it came at a cost, with both Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton forced off at Villa Park.

Eze gave his side the lead to set the tone of the game, but Villa responded with their super-sub Jhon Durán equalizing. The South London side then regained the lead when Daichi Kamada scored what turned out to be the winner.

This has been the most positive week for the Eagles, as they also beat Tottenham at Selhurst Park for their first league win of the season, easing pressure on their manager. However, worry quickly returned with injuries to Eze and Wharton, which came at a difficult time for the club.

After the game, Eze gave a brief update on his condition with a hopeful caption on Instagram, writing, "Be calm, God is good," just minutes after the win.

Palace will travel to Wolverhampton this weekend, and it goes without saying that losing both Eze and Wharton will be a massive blow. Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed the injuries after the game, telling reporters, "We had some issues with Eze, who was forced off with a hamstring injury, while Adam [Wharton] had some groin problems."

One key issue arising in this challenging start to the season has been the club's recruitment following the losses of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and Joachim Andersen to Fulham. These recent injuries are likely to increase pressure not only on the manager but also on the board, especially if the team cannot secure at least a point at Molineux.

Wolves have only two points from nine games, and although their performances suggest they deserve more, both teams will be eyeing this weekend's clash, hoping to claim all three points to boost their campaigns.
