Dean Henderson - Makes four saves in draw Henderson had four saves and concede one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Henderson returned to the net after being bench during each of the previous four matches. And the goalkeeper made most of the new opportunity by making lots of saves that kept his side in contention after the opposition scored an early goal. With Sam Johnstone (elbow) out for the rest of the season, Henderson will have many opportunities to showcase his skills until the end of the campaign.

Eberechi Eze - Logs assist in draw Eze made an assist, had three shots (two won), created two chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and suffered three fouls during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Fores...

Impact Eze was once again one of his team's biggest threats up front, this time assisting Jean-Philippe Mateta for the opener in the 11th minute and then being the driving force behind almost every dangerous play produced by Palace. With four goals and one assist over his last six starts, the forward has been one of EPL's most reliable players for fantasy purposes at his position.

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Scores again versus Forest Mateta scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mateta struck again, this time opening the scoring for his team in the 11th minute with a well-placed one-timer. That's now back-to-back games with a goal and three goals over the last four appearances for the forward, who's arguably having his best stretch since joining Crystal Palace three years ago.

Sam Johnstone - Season over Johnstone (elbow) will be out for the remainder of the season, according to manager Oliver Glasner."The only injury we are suffering is [Sam] Johnstone with the English national te...

Impact Johnstone officially underwent surgery and is now set to miss the rest of the season. It's a brutal turn for Palace, but Dean Henderson is one of the best backup options in the league and he should have no issues stepping up as the new top choice for the remainder of the season.

Michael Olise - Slowly returning Olise (hamstring) is nearing a return but remains out for at least two more matches, according to manager Oliver Glasner."He did many parts of training this week - not all the part...

Impact Olise is back in some portions of team training and is getting ever closer to a full return. The attacker was injured again after being rushed back earlier in the season so letting him fully heal before making a return is likely a priority for Palace in the near future.

Sam Johnstone - Picks up elbow injury Johnstone suffered an elbow injury over the break with England and may be forced to miss an extended period, reports the Daily Mail.

Impact Johnstone only recently moved back to the starting XI following the appointment of Oliver Glasner, but this injury could take that away. The team will likely do some tests and have more information on the injury in the coming week, but until then, it seems like Dean Henderson is likely to return in net for Palace.

Jeffrey Schlupp - Active in friendly Schlupp (undisclosed) played the second half of Thursday's friendly against Bodo/Glimt.

Impact Schlupp was always going to be ruled out until after the international break due to a re-scheduled match giving Palace three weeks off. The midfielder seems to be on track in his recovery, getting back on the pitch in the friendly against a competitive team.

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Scores in draw Mateta scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Luton Town.

Impact Mateta notched his fifth goal of the season in the 11th minute as he beat the goalkeeper with a beautiful back-heeled finish. The striker has been in good form recently, contributing to goals in four of the past six games.

Sam Johnstone - Concedes once in draw Johnstone had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Luton Town.

Impact Johnstone faced little pressure in the match, recording only one save. However, he was beaten in the 96th minute with a header that went off the post and in, equalizing the contest. For the second consecutive match, his side has struggled to prevent goals late in the match.

Jordan Ayew - Back with starting XI Ayew (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Luton Town.

Impact Ayew has recovered from the hip injury he picked up last week against Tottenham, as he will miss no time after being named to the starting XI. The club will be happy that the forward is avoiding the sidelines, as he is a regular starter and one of their more lethal weapons in the attack, getting the start in 25 of his 26 appearances while notching four goals and six assists.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Ayew - No injury status Ayew (hip) wasn't mentioned among the injured for Saturday's clash with Luton Town by manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Ayew came off with a minor hip issue against Tottenham but it appears the injury was minor as originally expected. The forward should be good to go for the starting XI for Saturday's clash, barring a late setback. If fully fit Ayew likely would be an option to go the full 90, as he has more often than not when fit.

Jeffrey Schlupp - Out until break Schlupp (undisclosed) will be out until after the international break, according to manager Oliver Glasner."He won't be in the squad tomorrow, but then we have three weeks with no...

Impact Schlupp won't make it back for Saturday's clash but the extended international break should be a good chance for Schlupp to complete his recovery. The midfielder had fallen largely out of favor even before his injury so his absence shouldn't change the starting XI too much.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Franca - Out Saturday Franca is out for Saturday's clash with Luton Town due to a groin injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner."We will miss Franca tomorrow, He has a problem with his groin."

Impact Franca's injury has seemingly come out of nowhere, though his absence shouldn't prove to be a major loss in the starting XI. The winger has come off the bench in most matches of late with just one start in 2024. Franca's first chance to return before the international break is a March 16 clash with Newcastle United.
