Eddie Nketiah ruled out for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign
Eddie Nketiah ruled out for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign Eddie Nketiah will miss the remainder of the season after suffering another hamstring injury, according to Oliver Glasner. The striker has endured a frustrating campaign with Crystal Palace after recurring fitness problems limited his appearances. Glasner confirmed that Nketiah’s latest injury setback means the forward will not play again this season.
The Palace manager revealed that the diagnosis was delivered shortly before the club’s recent European fixture. “Unfortunately for Eddie, it is the end of the season,” Glasner said when providing an update on the player’s condition. The manager explained that the club’s medical team informed him of the injury late in the evening following medical assessments.
Nketiah had initially been expected to return to action in April. However, the 26-year-old suffered another hamstring problem during a recent training session. That setback represents the fourth hamstring injury he has sustained during the current campaign.
Nketiah has not played for Palace since their 1-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on December 28. The striker has therefore missed a large portion of the season due to injury complications. In total, Nketiah has been unavailable for 30 matches during the 2025–26 campaign.
Despite those interruptions, he still managed to make 19 appearances across all competitions. During that period he scored four goals and provided one assist for the south London club. Nketiah joined Crystal Palace in 2024 after leaving Arsenal.
