Glasner on Wharton's return, Liverpool and his successor

Yahoo Sports

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield (kick-off 15:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Adam Wharton will be available after missing Monday's draw against West Ham with a groin problem: "Adam is good. He is fit and trained yesterday without any issues.

" A late call will be made on Nathaniel Clyne's availability: "One question mark we have is Nathaniel. He was ill yesterday, but then was better in the evening. He's being assessed at the moment, but hopefully he is available.

" Glasner has no fresh fitness issues in his squad: "All the others are the same, so we've got no new injury concerns, which is good news. Of course, the two injuries we still have are Eddie Nketiah and Evann Guessand. So they will miss this game.

" Will next Thursday's Conference league semi-final first leg affect his approach as Anfield? : "No. Saturday to Thursday feels like a very long spell between.

We are just preparing the players for the Liverpool game. We have the opportunity to beat Liverpool four times in one season which is unique. We are really highly motivated because maybe this will never happen again and it is a massive chance.
