Rob Holding - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns in pre-season friendly Holding (hamstring) played 30 minutes in Saturday's friendly against Crawley.

Impact Holding made his first appearance in ages for Palace, as he returned in their pre-season tilt following a hamstring injury that affected him leading back to the start of last season. That said, this is a huge boost for the club, as he should be considered fit to start the campaign. However, it is unknown what role he will hold, as he was supposed to be a depth option when brought in but will now have to fight his way back up the roster for minutes.

Goes unused in season finale Holding made 14 Premier League appearances (six starts) this season in central defense for Arsenal.

Impact Holding got a brief run in the XI from March through April following William Saliba's season-ending back injury, but other than scoring a goal in defeat against Manchester City, Holding was not very effective as a starter and was eventually displaced by Jakob Kiwior for the final month of the campaign. The 27-year-old will definitely remain a backup option at center-back if he remains at Arsenal next season.
