GAME LOG

Leads defense with interceptions Richards generated seven clearances and three interceptions in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Burnley.
Impact Richards made seven clearances, marking his 10th consecutive game with at least five, and added one block while leading the team with three interceptions. He helped secure Palace's seventh clean sheet as the three-man backline partnership with Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix continues to perform strongly. Offensively, the defender has been less impactful, registering five shots (zero on target) and creating four chances.

The 26: Did USA's Gio Reyna, Max Arfsten Help Their World Cup Roster Cases?
Dealing with cramps Richards (undisclosed) was forced off in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 2-0 victory against Wolves due to cramps, coach Oliver Glasner said in a press conference, according to the N...
Impact Richards could not finish Saturday's clash against Wolves due to cramping but should be fit moving forward for Palace. The center-back did not travel for international duty and received the trust of coach Oliver Glasner to play more minutes in the match than he should have had. Richards will hope to be fit for the clash against Strasbourg on Thursday since he is an important figure in Crystal Palace's back-three, and they will need him available as they currently sit ninth in the standings and aim to qualify directly for the next round of the Conference League. That said, if he had to miss some time, Jaydee Canvot will be the main option to replace him in the backline.

Forced off field Richards was forced off the field in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 2-0 win over Wolves due to an apparent injury, according to Bobby Manzi of The Sun.
Impact Richards would have to leave the field late into Saturday's contest, as the defender appeared to be dealing with some injury. The club will monitor his status over the week, as the club does have a midweek Conference League match they hope he is fit for. He should be set for further testing in the next day or two, hoping their starting defender only has a minor issue.

Makes starting squad Richards (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Brentford.
Impact Richards returned to the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Brentford after undergoing scans that revealed no tear in his calf. The center-back had been an undisputed starter for Palace before the injury scare and looks set to continue his regular role in the backline. His quick return reinforces Palace's defense and suggests the issue was minor.

Impact The return of Richards is a huge boost for Palace's defensive line. The center-back has been a regular at the back when healthy and should slot in the back three alongside Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix.

Impact Richards underwent scans that revealed no tear in his calf, suggesting he could be nearing an imminent return as early as Saturday's clash against Brentford. The center-back has been an undisputed starter for Palace in the backline and is expected to return directly to the starting XI. That said, if a more conservative approach is adopted, Jaydee Canvot will likely be the option to replace him.

Impact Richards played the full 90 Sunday but will now be out for the club's upcoming match, missing due to a calf injury. This will be something to monitor for the club, as he is a regular starter, hoping he doesn't miss much time. This will force a change for the time being, with Jaydee Canvot announced to be his replacement, likely to continue in this role if Richards remains out.
