Jorgen Strand Larsen - Ready for significant minutes Strand Larsen (ankle) is fit enough to play approximately 60 to 75 minutes in Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool after remaining an unused substitute during Thursday's...

Impact Strand Larsen is approaching his first competitive appearance since recovering from the ankle injury that sidelined him for several matches. The Norwegian striker returned to full training last week and was cleared for Thursday's European fixture against Hoffenhaim, but coach Sage ultimately decided against introducing him due to the circumstances of the match rather than any physical setback. His latest comments suggest that Strand Larsen has regained sufficient fitness to handle a substantial workload, potentially putting him in contention for a starting role against Liverpool. Jean-Philippe Mateta's suspension further increases his chances of leading Palace's attack, with the coaching staff needing an alternative in the central forward position.

Ismaila Sarr - Set to return after international break Sarr (groin) remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool and is expected to return after the November international break, according to coach Pierre Sag...

Impact Sarr's recovery continues to progress slowly after a persistent groin problem disrupted his involvement throughout the opening months of the campaign. The Senegalese winger has not featured since Oct. 22 and has missed several recent fixtures, with the coaching staff now ruling out a return before the international window. His absence also means he will be unable to represent Senegal during the upcoming break, allowing him to focus entirely on rehabilitation with Crystal Palace. Sarr has made just one start across the Premier League and Europa League this season, failing to register a goal or assist amid his recurring fitness concerns. Daichi Kamada has benefited from additional playing time during his absence, while Yeremi Pino remains another attacking alternative.

Axel Disasi - Expected back after midweek exclusion Disasi missed Thursday's UEFA Europa League draw against Hoffenheim due to an "internal decision," according to coach Pierre Sage, who also told TNT that Disasi is available for Su...

Impact Disasi sat out the European game after making three starts in a row across all competitions, with the reason for his absence reportedly being that he was late for a team meeting. If that's the case, there's no injury worry for the defender, and his inclusion in upcoming contests shouldn't be at risk. He's currently featuring in a three-man central defense alongside Chris Richards and Jaydee Canvot. Over the 2026/27 EPL campaign, Disasi most important numbers are his averages of 4.8 clearances, 2.4 interceptions and 1.8 tackles per game.

Adam Wharton - Sent off in Europa League Wharton was shown a second yellow card and sent off in Thursday's UEFA Europa League draw against Hoffenheim.

Impact Wharton will miss the next European clash against Real Sociedad on Nov. 26, leaving him available only for domestic competitions for the remainder of the month. The midfielder remains a regular starter and should continue to contribute in ball recovery and distribution alongside Quinten Timber, while Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes offer additional backup options and fill in for him in European action. Wharton has also taken set pieces throughout the season but has now gone five official games without a direct contribution.

Ismaila Sarr - Not playing with Senegal Sarr (groin) won't be an option for Senegal, according to manager Patrick Viera.

Impact Sarr is missing out on the international break due to a groin injury. The forward won't be playing with Senegal, and presumably won't be fit for the final match before the break. The forward has been struggling with a groin issue that has pushed him out for the last three matches, but in reality injuries have plagued him all season. Daichi Kamada has taken on a larger role with Sarr sidelined.

Quinten Timber - Goes 55 minutes Timber went 55 minutes during Wednesday's one-all draw with Hoffenheim.

Impact Timber made his return after three matches on the sideline with a start in the Europa League. He played 55 minutes and didn't do too much in the center of the park. It wasn't his best performance of the season by any means, but the good news is he seemed fully fit throughout the match. He could be back in the starting XI again for a Sunday clash with Liverpool.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Available after injury absence Strand Larsen (ankle) has been cleared to return for Thursday's Europa League clash after missing Palace's recent matches through injury, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Both [pla...

Impact Strand Larsen has completed his recovery from the ankle injury that kept him out of Palace's recent matches, including Saturday's clash against Tottenham. The striker resumed team training last week but needed additional time before being cleared for competitive action. His return strengthens Palace's attacking options, and Jean-Philippe Mateta's suspension for Sunday's Premier League encounter against Liverpool could provide Strand Larsen with an opportunity to start and earn significant playing time. He could also receive minutes in Thursday's European fixture as he works toward regaining match fitness.

Quinten Timber - Cleared for European return Timber (hamstring) is available for Thursday's Europa League clash after recovering from injury, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Both [players] will be back with us. They were tra...

Impact Timber is set to return to competitive action after missing Palace's recent fixtures, including Saturday's encounter against Tottenham, due to a hamstring injury. The midfielder had already resumed team training last week but was not considered fit enough to feature until now. His return provides Palace with an additional option in central midfield alongside Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada, although it remains unclear whether he will immediately reclaim a starting role.

Tyrick Mitchell - Six clearances in loss Mitchell had six tackles (three won), six clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Mitchell and the defense were under attack for the majority of Saturday's match, thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card in the 13th minute. He recorded a season-high six clearances along with three tackles, one interception and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action. He's kept just one clean sheet through nine starts this season, though he also has scored twice.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Daichi Kamada - One shot in loss Kamada had one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Kamada took one shot Saturday, the only shot his team managed to put on target in the loss. He also created one chance in the quiet attacking day thanks in part to Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card in the 13th minute. He contributed three clearances and one tackle before he was subbed off in the 88th minute for Will Hughes.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - One shot Saturday McNeil had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact McNeil made his second straight Premier League start Saturday, though he wasn't able to get much going on the attacking following Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card in the 13th minute. He only managed one off-target shot as Spurs dominated possession. He contributed on the defensive end though, recording two tackles, two clearances, two blocked shots and one interception before he was replaced in the 77th minute.

Dean Henderson - Concedes twice in return Henderson registered seven saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Henderson made his return to the Premier League Saturday after a lengthy absence due to an ankle injury. His team didn't do him many favors as Jean-Phillippe Mateta was sent off in the 13th minute, allowing Spurs to attack for the majority of the match. Hendeson conceded twice -- something he's done in all four starts this season -- but made a season-high seven saves in the loss. He faces a difficult matchup with Liverpool next.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Shown straight red Saturday Mateta was shown a straight red card in the 13th minute of Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham after a late challenge on Micky van de Ven.

Impact Mateta was sent off early against Tottenham. Michael Oliver initially booked him for a late, reckless challenge on Micky van de Ven, then upgraded the card to a red after a VAR review. The striker now faces a three-match domestic suspension, which should rule him out of Crystal Palace's next three Premier League matches. With Mateta suspended, Jorgen Strand Larsen (ankle) and Eddie Nketiah are the likely options to lead the line.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Remains out against Tottenham Strand Larsen (ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Strand Larsen had been targeting a return after resuming team training, but his absence from the squad indicates he has not progressed sufficiently to be considered for selection. His recovery from the ankle injury will continue, with Mateta retaining the starting role up front.

Quinten Timber - Misses Tottenham clash Timber (hamstring) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Timber had been closing in on a return after resuming team training, with coach Pierre Sage leaving the door open for a limited appearance against Tottenham. However, his omission suggests he has not yet regained sufficient fitness to return to competitive action, extending his absence for another match. With Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada continuing to offer established midfield options in his absence.

Quinten Timber - Could feature against Tottenham Timber (hamstring) is expected to return to team training Friday and could play some minutes in Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham, according to coach Pierre Sage. "...

Impact Timber is nearing a return from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of Crystal Palace's recent matches, including the Premier League defeat against Newcastle and Wednesday's Carabao Cup victory over Fulham. The midfielder is expected to resume team training Friday, leaving open the possibility of a limited appearance against Tottenham. However, with Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada firmly established as regular starters in midfield, Timber may initially have to settle for a substitute role as he rebuilds his match fitness.

Impact Mateta was deliberately rested against Fulham after making two 60-minute appearances over the previous seven days, exceeding his initially planned workload following a hamstring injury. The forward recently returned from a five-match Premier League absence and is still gradually rebuilding his match fitness. Having scored 12 goals in 32 league appearances last season, he is now expected to lead Crystal Palace's attack against Tottenham as he looks to regain his scoring form.

Impact Sarr continues to deal with a persistent groin issue that has limited his involvement in recent weeks. The winger missed Sunday's Premier League defeat against Newcastle and Wednesday's Carabao Cup victory over Fulham, with his latest assessment confirming he is not yet ready to return.

Dean Henderson - Keeps clean sheet in return Henderson returned from an ankle injury to keep a clean sheet in Wednesday's Carabao Cup win at Fulham.

Impact Henderson capped his return to the side by keeping a clean sheet during Wednesday's Carabao Cup victory over Fulham. The shot-stopper missed five consecutive league fixtures while recovering from an ankle problem that sidelined him after three initial appearances, in which he allowed eight goals and produced 12 saves. The goalkeeper started ahead of Walter Benitez, who had deputised during his absence, and he should now reclaim his place as the primary starter after restoring his full fitness.

Impact Strand Larsen missed Sunday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle in the Premier League after sustaining the injury against Besiktas in the UEFA Europa League, and it seems Wednesday's clash will come too soon for the towering striker. If he's out as expected, he'll aim to recover for the match against Tottenham on Saturday in the Premier League. Jean-Philippe Mateta, who recently returned from a hamstring injury, should continue to lead the line for the Eagles.
