Dean Henderson - Expected to play for U21 Henderson (hip) is inching closer to a return as he is expected to make an appearance with the U21 side, per the London News Online.

Impact Henderson received some good news as he is only a month away from returning to the pitch after missing the first three matches of the season with a hip injury. He signed from Nottingham Forest in the summer, starting all 18 games played during the 2022/23 campaign. Sam Johnstone is still the number one choice of keeper until Henderson is set to return.

Impact The midfielder was carried off on a stretcher against Luton in Saturday's 3-2 loss, and the worst fears of the club could be confirmed since the injury could be as serious as in the worst-case scenario.

Joel Ward - Assist in loss Ward assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Luton Town.

Impact Ward registered his first goal contribution of the campaign on Saturday, assisting on Michael Olise's equalizer in the 74th minute. This was a rare assist for the defender, as he only has notched eight goal contributions in his previous eight seasons. He didn't have his best game in the defense, only providing three tackles (two won), two clearances and a block.

Michael Olise - Nets first goal of campaign Olise scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), 13 crosses (five accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Luton Town.

Impact Olise looked to have secured his team a point by scoring his first goal of the season in the 74th minute before Palace faltered and allowed Luton another goal for a 2-1 victory. It was positive to see the attacker get on the scoresheet already, seeing this was only his second match back from a hamstring injury and his first start of the year. He was not only influential with his goal but also provided a lot of help in the attack, notching three chances created, five shots and an astonishing 13 crosses.

Sam Johnstone - Concedes twice in loss Johnstone made one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Luton Town.

Impact Johnstone would've hoped to have a better performance on Saturday after allowing three goals and only registering one save in his last match, but instead, he almost had an identical outcome against Luton, allowing two goals and notching only one save yet again. The goalie did have to play behind an injured outfield, having two of his key starters go down with injuries, which possibly amplified the result of the match. The goalie will hope to have a better performance in his next contest when he heads to London for a match against West Ham.

Cheick Oumar Doucoure - Serious injury confirmed Doucoure (leg) has been confirmed to have a serious injury and to be heading for a spell on the sidelines, according to manager Roy Hodgson, per Edmund Brack of the London News. "H...

Impact Doucoure looks to be heading for a long spell on the sidelines after going slipping and going down with a noncontact injury during their match against Luton Town. The midfielder was already viewed leaving the stadium on crutches with a walking boot on his leg, so it is pretty easy to assume that the midfielder will be out for a while based on that and Roy Hodgson's quotes. He was replaced by Will Hughes, who will likely maintain the starting role with Doucoure out. There is still no further information on the type of injury or how long the player will be out.

Eberechi Eze - Injured in second half Eze was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Luton Town with an injury.

Impact Eze left the match in the 49th minute after succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Jordan Ayew. Eze had just returned recently from a hamstring injury and a recurrence of the injury can't be ruled out.

Cheick Oumar Doucoure - Stretchered off with injury Doucoure was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Luton Town with an injury.

Impact Doucoure was stretchered off the pitch in the 54th minute after slipping following a pass and requiring treatment. The extent of injury should be revealed post match as Will Hughes replaced Doucoure.

Michael Olise - Two shots off bench Olise shot twice off the bench and sent in four crosses during a 3-2 loss to Everton.

Impact Olise made his long-awaited return and failed to create a chance or put a shot on goal but still looked threatening. The winger will continue to be a major goalscoring threat and should be an excellent contributor to the attack as a whole as he continues to build match fitness. Olise finished 2022/23 with two goals and 11 assists, while making 37 appearances.

Joachim Andersen - Decent in defense this season Andersen has two goals on ten shots (five accurate) and one assist on ten chances created to go along with 17 tackles (11 won), 13 interceptions and 73 clearances in his 12 starts...

Impact Andersen has yet to miss a start for Crystal Palace this season, starting all 12 matches in the center of the defense. The 27-year-old is second on the team in goals scored this campaign despite being a defender, notching two while also having an assist. The defender also is second in the Premier League for clearances, only falling four short of Ethan Pinnock's league-leading 77.

Jefferson Lerma - Assist in loss Lerma registered one assist from four chances created and had two shots of target in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Everton.

Impact Lerma was fortunate to pick up his first attacking return of the season, with a defensive mix up allowing Odsonne Edouard to score. The defensive midfielder is not renowned for his work in the final third and has started every game for which he has been available this season. He made five interceptions, more than anyone else on the pitch.

Eberechi Eze - Scores penalty Eze scored once from two shots (both on target), attempted eight crosses and took six corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Everton.

Impact Eze, who was making his first start since returning from a hamstring injury, won and scored the penalty for the first equaliser and was desperately unlucky not to win a second penalty, instead receiving a controversial yellow for diving. The winger looked dangerous throughout the game and it would be no surprise to see him pick up further attacking returns as Palace embark on a run of favourable fixtures.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Odsonne Edouard - Scores in loss Edouard scored once from six efforts (two on target) and created one chance in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Everton.

Impact Edouard attempted twice as many shots as any other player. He put an end to his run of five games without a goal when he took advantage of a defensive mix up to score Palace's second equalizer. The striker enjoyed a promising start to the season with four goals in the first five games before his form tailed off. With Palace now facing a run of favourable fixtures, he will hope to start finding the back of the net consistently once again.

Sam Johnstone - Concedes three goals Johnstone conceded three goals and made one save in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Everton.

Impact Johnstone had kept four clean sheets in his previous six, but he came up against an Everton side that was clinical in front of goal. Despite having an afternoon to forget, he still sits joint top of the clean sheets table with five, alongside Nick Pope. Palace face two sides in the bottom three (Luton and Bournemouth) in their next three games and you would not bet against Johnstone adding to his tally.
