Crystal Palace v Man Utd (Sat, 17:30 BST)
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner gave a fitness update ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Manchester United:
“[Trevoh Chalobah] is progressing, but he’s not available tomorrow. We expect him back with the team next week.
“The same with [Matheus] Franca. His recovery has gone quicker than expected. He did training yesterday and today with the team. It’s still a little bit too early. He will train next week, but he’s coming back.
“Just [missing] are Chadi Riad and, unfortunately, Cheick Doucoure.”
On Doucoure’s injury: “He has some [injury] to do with the tendon on the toe. We will miss him for several weeks. The tendon has to heal, so it’s a little bit of a bad situation for him, but he will be back in a few weeks.
“He had a lot pain during the [Leicester] game and after the game, and now we, and him as well, are pleased that it’s not so serious because it was so painful that there was a worry it was a serious injury.
“It’s not. It’s several weeks. He was out for eight months, so several weeks is a short period. He’s already working for his comeback.”
