Wolves vs Crystal Palace injury news as 11 ruled out and 5 doubts

Crystal Palace are back on the right track after a difficult start to the season. The Eagles stunned Tottenham over the weekend and have already built on that with a surprise away win over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.

Oliver Glasner has a talented squad, and there are now indications that he can maximise his side’s abilities this season despite that rocky start. Palace head to Wolves this Saturday, and ahead of the clash, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both clubs.

Yerson Mosquera - Out

Mosquera is out for the season with a long-term injury. Gary O’Neil has said: “It’s really early days, and I don’t want to put a definitive time scale on it, but everything went very well with the surgery. Over the next days and weeks, we’ll start to really map out what the rehab looks like.”

Enso Medina - Out

Medina is also out long-term. O’Neil has said: “He's beginning his strength phase. He's a few months ahead of Yerson. He responded really well to the initial surgery and is back in the gym working hard, so he's right on track with where we'd expect him to be.”

Sasa Kalajdzic - Out

Kalajdic is out with a knee injury and will likely be out for the rest of the calendar year. O’Neil explained: “He's back on the grass, which is great for him. He's now starting to get to the more functional aspects of his rehab. Over the next few months, we'll be integrating more ball work and then hopefully get him back into training and matches in the not-too-distant future.”

Boubacar Traore - Out

Traore is another who will be lucky to see football before 2025. O’Neil has said: “Boubacar is still out - on crutches at the moment - had a repair to [the joint surface in] his knee and will probably be out until around Christmas.”

Hee Chang-Hwang - Out

Chang-Hwang is out with an ankle injury and is close to a return, likely to be back in just over a week.

Sam Johnston - Doubt

Johnston has been close to a return with O’Neil saying over a week ago: “It's not nothing, there's something there. He injured a ligament on the inside of his ankle, but from now it's probably a couple to a few weeks, nothing overly long.” He should be in contention here.

Mario Lemina - Doubt

O’Neil said last week: “Mario has a slight issue with his calf. I think he'll be OK next week; I don't think it's a big one.”

Bastien Meupiyou Menadjou - Out

O’Neil said this week: “Hopefully, Bastien will train with the group next week.”

Adam Wharton - Doubt

Glasner said after the mid-week win: “Adam felt his groin issues again. He has been dealing with this for many weeks or months now. During the game, the pain got worse and worse, and so that's why we had to take him off. But I'm positive that Adam will be available for Wolves.”

Eberechi Eze - Doubt

Glasner said of Eze: “Adam felt his groin issues again. He has been dealing with this for many weeks or months now. During the game, the pain got worse and worse, and so that's why we had to take him off. But I'm positive that Adam will be available for Wolves.”

Matheus Franca - Out

Franca is along-term absentee with Glasner having said: “He is too far away. I don’t think that he will play many games or even one game in for us. We expected Franca to be back within two to three months and he’s still out.”

Chadi Riad - Out

Riad is out with a knee injury and Glasner confirmed recently: “I don’t expect [him] to play before the next international break in November.”

Chris Richards - Out

Glasner has said of Richards: “Chris is now working on the pitch with his rehab. He’s getting closer. I don’t expect [him] to play before the next international break. It was not so serious but on a bad spot of the muscle. We have to be very careful that we don’t get a re-injury.”

Cheick Doucoure - Doubt

Glasner said last week: “Cheick has had just one training session with us this week, but it will still take time, so it is the same squad.” That suggests Doucoure has an outside chance this week but will still be a doubt.

Holding has been cast aside by Glasner and is not being considered.

Lerma is out with a longer term hamstring injury.
