Chadi Riad - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to bench Riad (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.

Impact Riad is named on the bench after being cleared to play following nearly a year out with a torn ACL. He has yet to feature this season and returns as a substitute option as he continues his reintegration. Injuries limited him to just two starts last season both of which came before the long-term setback.

Impact Riad was back in training and has now been deemed clear for play, a massive return to play after nearly a year out with a torn ACL. He has yet to play this season, so he will likely be limited in minutes, playing off the bench, and potentially going unused. Injuries only allowed him to play two games all of last season, both of which he started, as the 22-year-old will try to shape out a spot in the team again after the lengthy absence.

Impact Riad has been recovering from an ACL injury for 11 months and is progressing well in his rehabilitation after partially resuming team training. That said, his upcoming program will consist of getting some minutes with the U21 team before resuming full football training with the senior squad by the middle of January, if everything goes as planned until then. That said, a return on the pitch for the defender is unlikely to happen before late January or early February.

Impact Riad is not ready at all to play games, not even with the youth team, according to coach Oliver Glasner. The Moroccan is still working through his rehabilitation from an ACL injury and will not be rushed back by the medical staff. That said, his absence is not impacting the starting XI of Palace since he will hold a bench role at best once he is fully fit.

Impact Riad is going to continue on the sidelines just following his expected return, with the defender slipping during training and suffering a setback in his recovery. This is a tough run for the defender, who has yet to appear this season. He will now look for his return following the international break, although that is up in the air.

Left out as precaution Riad (knee) was expected to be available for Thursday's clash against AZ but ultimately missed out as a precaution, according to Bobby Manzi from GiveMeSport.

Impact Riad has fully recovered from his ACL injury and was expected to be available for Thursday's clash before ultimately missing out due to an issue in training yesterday after slipping during a movement. However, Riad will hope to be back available for Sunday's clash against Brighton, even though he should hold only a bench role moving forward.

Training in full Riad (knee) was spotted back in full team training on Wednesday, according to Sam Tabuteau of The Standard.

Impact Riad missed a long period of time due to an ACL injury suffered back in January but seems closer than ever to making his return after training in full on Wednesday. The defender could be back in one of the upcoming fixtures, although he will likely see limited playing time after such a long spell on the sidelines.

Nearing return Riad (knee) is nearing a return to training, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "And we have Chadi Riad, who will come back in the next two weeks and start training with us"

Impact Riad is nearing a return to training, the last major step in his recovery from an ACL injury. The defender may not be ready for match action straight away, with the potential for games with the youth team after joining team training. Riad would be another central defense option, though he might have to earn significant minutes again after so long on the sideline.

Needs another week or two Riad (knee) is still a week or two away from a return, according to manager Olivier Galsner. "No, unfortunately. We expected him now, but it takes maybe one, two more weeks. We s...

Impact Riad is going to need more time to work on his recovery despite an expected return after the break, still needing more time to regain fitness. The good news is he only needs a week or two to recover, expected to return after. He will hope to remain fit once he returns to play, as knee injuries plagued much of last season and he only earned one appearance, with his ruptured ACL carrying into this campaign.

Impact Riad has been working on his return from a long-term ACL injury and is nearing full fitness, with a comeback expected after the international break. That said, he will likely hold a rotational role in the back three once fully fit, so his return won't impact the starting squad.

Included in Conference League squad Riad (knee) has been included in Palace's squad for the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League,

Impact Riad is working his way back from a knee injury and isn't expected to be available in the coming months. However, his inclusion in the squad suggests the center-back could be in line to make a comeback at some point before the end of the tournament's league phase in late January.

Impact Riad's first season in London has been marred by injuries and he's now set for what is likely to be almost a full year on the sideline. He suffered a ruptured ACL and isn't expected to be back until some point later in the 2025/26 season. Riad made just two appearances (both starts) for Palace in all competitions.

Impact Riad isn't an option for Sunday's clash due to a knee injury, this comes as a major blow for the center-back who just returned from a serious knee injury. It's a double-whammy for Palace, who lost Trevoh Chalobah to being recalled from his loan by Chelsea. Riad will hope this isn't a serious injury as he should push for starting minutes when fit.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Sunday Riad started and played the full 90 in Sunday's 1-0 win over Stockport County.

Impact Riad saw his first time since the second match of the season Sunday, registering a start and a full 90 minutes of work. This is great news for the defender, as he had gone unused in his first two matches back from injury. He will look to continue seeing the start moving forward, although that is unconfirmed, as he will likely have to earn that spot back after his lengthy absence.

Finds bench spot Riad (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Southampton.

Impact Riad is finally back with the team after four months out due to a knee injury, last appearing in late August. He will likely only see a rotational role moving forward, as he did start in his one appearance prior to the injury but will have to work his way into any type of starting role after the long layoff.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not with first team Riad (knee) is out for Thursday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Riad is still not ready for first-team minutes despite returning to a U21 match at the start of December. He has yet to play since Aug. 24 due to his knee injury, with no timeline set for his return. He did start in his one appearance, so it will be interesting to see what spot he holds once he is fit.

Set for U21's Riad (knee) will play with the Crystal Palace U21 team, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Especially for Chadi, because he has been out for three-and-a-half months now. He will...

Impact Riad is nearing a return, and is now set for some minutes with the youth team. He's still a few weeks away from a full return, but Riad could be back before the end of 2024. The center-back made just a single Premier League start for the Eagles before suffering the knee injury that sidelined him.

Set for months out Riad (knee) is expected to miss multiple months, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "The doctors told us it will take eight to 12 weeks, so yes, a little bit of time. At the begi...

Impact Riad is going to miss multiple months, but the fact that he could be back before the end of the year is a great sign. The defender avoided any major structural damage to his knee and should be back as another option in the first team before the end of the year.

Avoids ACL injury Riad (knee) avoided an ACL injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner."It doesn't look so serious. We will miss him definitely for several weeks, but what it looked like is that t...

Impact Riad was originally thought to have ruptured his ACL, but initial scans were positive. The defender will still be out through the international break, and potentially for all of September. Still this is a far better outcome than originally expected. Nathaniel Clyne could get the start at center-back with Riad sidelined for Sunday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Raid has already been announced to miss at least one match and possibly more, having been affected by a ligament injury in his knee. However, further testing still has to be done to reveal the full extent of his issues. That said, it is too soon to jump to conclusions, as despite missing Sunday's match, he could return very soon after. They will hope for this even though he isn't a regular starter, with the defender still being a decent depth option off the bench.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Brought off early Riad was forced off during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Norwich City.

Impact Riad made it to the 10th minute before he was forced off with an injury. The defender is expected to fill a depth role with Palace, though if Marc Guehi departs, Riad could be forced into major minutes. Riad's injury will be a concern, though the upcoming international break gives him some additional time to recover.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to England Riad has agreed on a five year deal Crystal Palace, the team announced.

The defender is still gaining experience as he is set to be a depth option for Crystal Palace ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

JUNE 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Riad has been in and out of the starting XI this season, though he started two of the final four matches before the international break. He will now miss at least two matches and if Morocco make it out of the group stage he will miss three minimum.

Impact Riad had one of his best matches of the season on Sunday, registering a season-high in tackles won and shots with three in both departments while also providing four clearances. The defender continues to be a rotational player, starting in eight of the club's 17 matches this campaign.
