Dean Henderson - Keeps clean sheet Sunday Henderson made three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Henderson kept his second clean sheet of the season Sunday and his first since Sept. 21. His defense played exceptionally well, holding a good Spurs attack to just three shots on target. He faces a more favorable matchup Saturday at Wolves, a side which has scored 12 goals through one matches this season.

Jefferson Lerma - Off early Sunday Lerma was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Tottenham with an injury.

Impact Lerma was forced off in the 22nd minute, succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Will Hughes. The extent of Lerma's injury should be determined in the buildup to next week's match at Wolves.

Adam Wharton - Surgery still on the table Wharton (hip) is still discussing surgery, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "We are discussing [whether to send him for surgery], and when we take the final decision we will in...

Impact Wharton has been playing through a hip and groin issue for multiple months, and while it's not really limited his playing time, it's clearly bothering him. Glasner said Wharton would be available for the three matches before the Novemeber international break, but after that Wharton may undergo surgery. Barring any other issues, Wharton should be available for the moment.

Cheick Doucoure - Trained once Doucoure (toe) took part in one training session, but is out for Sunday's clash with Tottenham, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Cheick Doucoure has had just one training sess...

Impact Doucoure is still nearing a return, as he's missed four matches with a toe injury. The midfielder was hoping to return during Sunday's clash, but it appears the single training session won't be enough to get him back in the matchday squad.

Dean Henderson - Five saves for loss Henderson had five saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Henderson stopped five of the six shots he faced, but still came away with a disappointing loss. The goalkeeper did well throughout the match, but a single goal allowed proved to be enough to saddle him with the loss. Henderson will need to be at his best for a tough clash with Tottenham next time out.

Will Hughes - Struggles in midfield Hughes generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Hughes was unable to get much going on either side of the ball, with little end product or progress made going forward for the most part. The midfielder still seems to be the preferred starting option alongside Adam Wharton, though there's plenty of other options that could compete for minutes in the busy weeks on the horizon.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Quiet in loss Mateta registered two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Mateta had a tough day against a Forest defense that didn't give him much room to work. In the end it was a disappointing showing, both for the team, and for Mateta. He's got plenty of potential, as he showed at the end of the prior Premier League season, but it remains to be seen if he can catch fire again.

Eddie Nketiah - Four chances created Nketiah generated four shots (two on goal) and four chances created in Monday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nketiah came so close to multiple goal contributions, both as a provider and finisher. The striker didn't end up finding the back of the net, but he was busy throughout and piled on volume. It's been a disappointing start to life with Palace, but Nketiah has shown promise and could be the top choice striker moving forward.

Eberechi Eze - Busy in loss Eze generated six shots (two on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Monday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Eze had no issues with volume during Monday's clash, piling on plenty of chances, but struggling to find any sort of end product. The attacking midfielder remains the focal point of everything Palace do, and is a crucial part of the team in every phase. Eze is one of the top midfielders available in any match.

Daniel Munoz - Starting against Forest Munoz (groin) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Munoz is back with the club as expected Monday, earning a spot on the bench. The midfielder has yet to miss a match or start this season and should continue in the starting XI now that he is fit from his injuries that occurred over the break.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Turner - Ineligible for Monday Turner is out for Monday's match against Nottingham Forest due to being loan-locked.

Impact Turner will have to sit out Monday's match against Forest, as he will be playing versus his parent club and will be loan-locked. Luckily for the club, this is a minor absence, as he is their backup and has yet to appear this campaign. He will next be available when facing Tottenham on Oct. 27.

Adam Wharton - Good to go Wharton is fit and available for Monday's trip to Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "He is ready [to play on Monday], but it's always the same: we have to man...

Impact Wharton has been dealing with a hip issue and general discomfort that has led him to multiple specialist visits. The midfielder continues to manage his pain and play through the injury. It seems that this is an injury that could plague Wharton throughout the season even if it doesn't force him to miss time.

Chris Richards - Not ready to return Richards (hamstring) isn't an option for Monday's trip to Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But also no new injured players are coming back, so we have the s...

Impact Richards isn't an option Monday as he works back from a hamstring issue. There was some hope he'd come back after the international break, but it appears that's not possible. There's no specific timeline for Richards' return, but an Oct. 27 clash with Tottenham seems unlikely. Trevoh Chalobah will likely continue in an expanded role alongside Marc Guehi.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Munoz - Still out Munoz (groin) is out for Monday's trip to Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But also no new injured players are coming back, so we have the same squad. It lo...

Impact Munoz isn't set to return for Monday's clash after picking up a groin issue before the international break. The right-back was replaced by Nathaniel Clyne last time out, with Clyne now set for a spell in the starting XI. Glasner didn't appear optimistic about Munoz's chances to return for an Oct. 27 clash with Spurs.

Cheick Doucoure - Nearing return Doucoure (toe) will join team training after Monday's clash with Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But also no new injured players are coming back, so we hav...

Impact Doucoure is the closest of the three injured Palace players to making a return, but he won't be back Monday. That likely means Will Hughes and Adam Wharton will partner in central midfield once more for Monday's clash.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Wharton - Top option Wharton has started every single Premier League match, despite some ongoing hip pain.

Impact Wharton remains the most consistent piece of a frequently-changing Palace midfield. The midfielder has been a revelation since making the switch to London, and has shone in all competitions. Barring injuries he will remain a constant in the XI, with some decent upside on both sides of the ball.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Daichi Kamada - Struggling to make impact Kamada has yet to score or assist for Crystal Palace across seven appearances (four starts) this season.

Impact Kamada joined the Eagles after spending the 2023/24 season with Lazio in the Italian Serie A, but he has struggled to replicate the form that made him one of the best playmakers in the Bundesliga only a few seasons ago. Kamada has four shots (one on target) and six chances created across those seven outings.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Munoz - Won't join Columbia Munoz (groin) will not compete with Columbia over the international break, according to the team.

Impact Munoz will be unavailable for Columbia over the break, with his muscle issues preventing him from playing following testing. That said, he should return to England in the coming days, likely continuing his recovery process with Crystal Palace. He will look to eye a return after the break, although that is not confirmed, as an exact timeline for his rehabilitation is unknown.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Munoz - Will undergo testing Munoz is set to undergo testing after leaving Saturday's 1-0 loss to Liverpool with an apparent groin issue, according to manager Oliver Glasner, per Edmund Brack of London News On...

Impact Munoz has gone down right ahead of the international break, with the defender suffering what appears to be a groin issue. He is set for a further scan to show the extent of his issues, with that likely to provide a timetable for his return as well. That said, they will hope for all reports to only show minor issues and possibly return following the break, as he has been a regular start, starting in all seven matches this campaign.
