Cheick Oumar Doucoure - Inks new contract Doucoure has agreed to a contract extension with Crystal Palace, as he will remain with the club until 2029.

Impact Doucoure will continue his tenure with Palace, having inked a two-year contract extension after signing a five-year deal with the club in 2022. The midfielder has been decent since joining from Fench side Lens, appearing 45 times over the last two seasons, with that total being affected due to him missing half of the 2023/24 season with his current Achilles issue. He has been a solid addition to the club, having earned the Palace Player of the Year award last campaign, and should be a regular starter over the next couple of seasons after signing the extension.

Marc Guehi - Nearing return Guehi (knee) isn't available for Saturday's clash with Burnley, but is recovering well, according to manager Oliver Glasner."Marc and Michael we will see, but there was some good n...

Impact Guehi isn't ready for Saturday's match, as expected, but could return sooner rather than later. Getting the center-back into the first team once more would be a huge boost for a Palace side fighting to stave off relegation. Guehi will be a consistent starter as soon as he is deemed fully fit, potentially as soon as a March clash with Tottenham.

Will Hughes - Could return against Tottenham Hughes (ankle) is out for Saturday's clash with Burnley, but is nearing a return, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Will Hughes I also hope and think will be with us next week"

Impact Hughes was originally hoping to return against Burnley, but it appears that will come too soon for the midfielder. Instead, Hughes will target a return for the March 2 clash with Tottenham. When fit Hughes has seen consistent chances in the starting XI, though it's unclear if new boss Oliver Glasner will see him as a starter as well.

Impact Eze returning would be a massive boon as the main creative force in this team, though Glasner will need to be careful to avoid rushing him back. Eze has suffered a few injuries, but when fit he's been simply sublime, creating at a prodigious rate.
