Matheus Franca - Back in starting XI Franca got the start during Thursday's scoreless draw with Everton.

Impact Franca was back in the starting XI for Thursday's clash, though he seemingly is still out of favor in the Premier League with all five of his appearances coming off the bench. Barring some major change in form or injuries elsewhere in the team Franca seems set to remain a depth option moving forward.

Odsonne Edouard - Uncertain to face Brentford Edouard (calf) might not be ready to face Brentford on Saturday, manager Roy Hodgson told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "We will see in the training session t...

Impact The fact that Edouard has been training away from the rest of the squad doesn't boost his chances of playing against the Bees, but Hodgson also said the return of the French "it's not a 100 percent priority" with the way Jean-Philippe Mateta is playing." All signs point to Mateta keeping his place in the XI to take on the Bees, while Edouard's best-case scenario would be to crack the bench. If that's not an alternative, then Edouard's next chance to play will come against Arsenal on Jan. 20.

Sam Johnstone - Not available to face Brentford Johnstone (calf) won't be an option to face Brentford on Saturday, manager Roy Hodgson told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "Sam Johnstone, no [he will not be b...

Impact Johnstone hasn't played since Dec. 9, when he suffered an injury against Liverpool and was forced to depart in the final stages of the contest, and now he will have to wait until mid-January at the earliest to make his return to action in league play. This means Dean Henderson is likely to remain between the posts to take on the Bees in Palace's final game of the calendar year. Johnstone's next chance to feature in the Premier League will come against Arsenal on Jan. 20.
