Palace handed boost ahead of Anfield trip According to Liverpoolfc. com, Oliver Glasner has confirmed a key return that strengthens the visitors ahead of facing us. The Palace manager said: “Adam is good.
He is fit and trained yesterday without any issues so he’ll be available for Liverpool. ” That’s a notable boost for the London side, because Adam Wharton has been an important part of their midfield structure, and his presence will add control and composure in the centre of the pitch. The Austrian coach also made it clear that, overall, his squad is in relatively stable condition heading into the weekend.
“All the others are the same so we’ve got no new injury concerns, which is good news. ” From our perspective, that suggests we’ll be facing close to a full-strength Palace side, which only increases the importance of being at our best. Two confirmed absentees for Glasner’s side Despite that boost, Glasner did confirm that two players will definitely miss the trip to Merseyside.
“Of course, two injuries we still have are Eddie Nketiah and Evann Guessand so they will miss this game. ” That removes some attacking options for the visitors, although Palace have still shown they can cause problems even without those players available. There is also uncertainty surrounding former Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne, with the Palace boss admitting: “One question mark we have is Nathaniel Clyne… “He’s being assessed at the moment.
