Oliver Glasner shares Crystal Palace injury update ahead of Wolves clash

Crystal Palace will travel to Molineux to face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday. 

The Eagles picked up their first win in the league last week when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Selhurst Park, and Oliver Glasner will be looking to maintain the winning run.

Wolves have yet to win a game in the Premier League, and they will be desperate to pick up all three points.

Ahead of the match, Glasner has confirmed that Palace will miss several key players for this game.

Crystal Palace suffer major injury blow

Glasner has confirmed that Palace will be without midfielder Eberechi Eze for this game.

The 26-year-old scored the opening goal against Aston Villa but picked up an injury during the game. Glasner has said that Eze will not return before the international break this month, which means he will miss the game against Fulham as well.

“He’s injured. He has a hamstring injury and we will miss him for at least against Wolves and against Fulham. Then we have the international break, and then let’s see, but he will be out for those two games,” said Glasner.

“There is hope [he will return after that], but it will be very ambitious to have him back after the international break. I know we have a great medical department and he will work hard, so let’s see.”

Eze was superb against Spurs and was looking to get back to his best form, and missing him now is a huge blow for the club.

Crystal Palace injury update v Wolves

Palace will be without Adam Wharton for this game as well. Glasner has confirmed that the club have decided that the midfielder should undergo surgery.

He has been playing with pain recently, but the club finally decided that it makes no sense for him to continue in this physical condition.

The Eagles will also miss Jefferson Lerma and Joel Ward for this game through injuries.
