Adam Wharton - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play in U21 Euros Wharton (concussion) won't represent England at the U21 Euros, according to Henry Winter of World Soccer Magazine.

Impact Wharton missed the final game of the 2024/25 season with a concussion, and while the reason for his squad release was only described as "medical problems," there's a chance he's still feeling the concussion effects. Wharton had an injury-marred season in 2024/25, as he was limited to only 20 appearances (16 starts) in the Premier League while missing time with groin, ankle and hip issues outside of his latest concussion. If he's healthy for 2025/26, he should be a key member of the Palace squad as long as he's not transferred to another club during the summer. He's been linked with a move to Manchester City in recent months.

This is unfortunate, as he will not be able to pass protocol before their season finale and will end the season sidelined.

He was forced off in the middle of the second half after twisting his ankle. The injury didn't look serious but he will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he could miss time if a more serious problem is revealed.

Impact Wharton won't be back for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, but he is still on target for a return against Brighton.

Impact Wharton aggravated his groin injury in the Carabao Cup, making the decision for him to go under the knife easy.

Forced off in cup Wharton was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Wednesday's cup clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Wharton has been struggling with a hip/groin issue for more than six months at this point, but still was started on just four days rest. It's a bewildering decision and one that has clearly come back to bite Oliver Glasner and Palace. Wharton will be a heavy doubt for Saturday's trip to Wolves, and if he aggravated the previous injury it could force him into a surgery that was already considered possible.

Barring any other issues, Wharton should be available for the moment.
