Eddie Nketiah - Manages knock Nketiah was forced off at halftime due to a knock during Tuesday's defeat against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, but will be available for Sunday's clash against Tottenham, coach Oliv...

Impact Nketiah is seeing a greater role for Palace with the departure of Ismaila Sarr for the AFCON but the forward received a knock in the first half of Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat against the Gunners that he will need to manage in the coming days. The issue seems to be minor since coach Oliver Glasner already announced that he will be available against the Spurs on Sunday. That said, if he had to ultimately miss the game or start on the bench, the young Justin Devenny will likely get a starting chance for that clash.

Impact Richards was stretchered off Tuesday and fortunately it looks like only stitches were needed to contain the bleeding. It's be surprising if he was available to start Sunday against Tottenham, but Glasner seems like that could be the case. If not, Jaydee Canvot or Jefferson Lerma will likely enter the XI on the back line.

Christantus Uche - Wins penalty off bench Uche had one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leeds United.

Impact After back-to-back Conference League starts in which he scored in both games, Uche made another Premier League appearance off the bench and contributed by winning the penalty that produced the team's only goal. He has yet to start a league match since joining from Getafe but could earn the opportunity if he maintains this form.

Justin Devenny - Scores off bench Devenny scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Leeds United.

Impact After opening his Palace account this season in the Conference League last Thursday, Devenny, who has not made any Premier League start since Aug. 24, was once again introduced from the bench and converted a late penalty. He nearly added a second goal in stoppage time, but his header hit the post.

Dean Henderson - Concedes four in loss Henderson registered two saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leeds United.

Impact Henderson gave up four goals, his most this season, though he added two good saves and was rarely to blame with Palace repeatedly exposed on long throws and set pieces. He has conceded eight goals in his last three league appearances, totaling eight saves without recording a clean sheet, and will face Tottenham on Sunday.

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Will start against Leeds United Mateta will be in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leeds United, coach Oliver Glasner said in the press conference.

Impact Mateta has been playing through knee pain and was rested for the midweek Conference League clash, but he is expected to be in the starting squad for Saturday's clash against Leeds United, according to coach Oliver Glasner. This is great news for the Eagles, since it suggests the Frenchman is fit to play and that the pain is manageable and only minor.

Crystal Palace settles for Conference League playoffs after 2-2 draw with Finnish club KuPS

Crystal Palace missed a chance to advance directly to the Conference League round of 16 when it was held to a 2-2 draw with Finnish club KuPS

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Playing through knee pain Mateta was playing through knee pain in recent weeks, and the club hopes he will not have to undergo surgery for his injury, according to Sam Tabuteau from The Standard.

Impact Mateta has been playing through knee pain in recent weeks, and Crystal Palace are managing his minutes as they hope the striker will not have to undergo the same surgery that Daniel Munoz had to his knee, which ruled him out until next year. The Frenchman should be available for Saturday's clash against Leeds United, but if he was to start on the bench or ultimately miss out, Eddie Nketiah would likely see a greater role in the frontline for the Eagles.

Chadi Riad - Training partially with team Riad (knee) is progressing well and resumed team training partially, although he remains one month away from resuming real football training with the squad, coach Oliver Glasner sa...

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.

Cheick Doucoure - Still building fitness Doucoure (knee) is still far from making his return to competition since he is still building his fitness and trying to find stability and consistency, coach Oliver Glasner said in...

Impact Doucoure has been recovering from an ACL injury since late January and will need more time before making his return to the match squad, as he is still trying to find stability and consistency. The midfielder will then train and play for the U21 team to build his match fitness before resuming the senior squad loop and getting back to the pitch. This will take some time, which will likely sideline him until at least late January or early February, as it will depend on how he progresses during that period and whether he avoids a new setback in his recovery.

Daichi Kamada - Will miss at least two months Kamada (hamstring) suffered a serious injury and will miss at least eight to 10 weeks, coach Oliver Glasner said in a press conference. "It is how it looked when he walked off the...

Impact Kamada will need at least eight to 10 weeks to recover from a serious hamstring injury that he suffered against Manchester City on Sunday. The Japanese midfielder will likely be targeting a return in late February at best, for the clash against Wolves on Feb. 21, although a return in early March could also be an option. This is a big blow for Palace, since Kamada is an undisputed starter in midfield and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Will Hughes or Jefferson Lerma set for greater roles in the heart of the game while he is out.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ismaila Sarr - Called up by Senegal Sarr was called up by Senegal for AFCON and will miss at least three weeks.

Impact Sarr is off to a bit of a slow start with Palace, but is still a big loss while away from the team for at least three weeks while at AFCON. When he missed a few matches earlier in the season it was Eddie Nketiah who got to step into a larger role in the starting XI, and the same change is possible here for AFCON.
