Man Utd shares purchased by American billionaire investor - but full takeover is unlikely

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Still out for 2-3 weeks Mateta (knee) remains unavailable after coach Oliver Glasner gave an update on his situation in Wednesday's press conference "we hope to have back in the next two or three weeks."

Impact Mateta avoided surgery after sustaining a serious knee injury in January, and he's currently expected to return during the current season, though he'll miss at least the upcoming fixtures versus Wolverhampton and Manchester United. The striker remains his team's scoring leader with eight goals in the 2025/26 EPL season, and losing him has limited their attacking potential. However, winter signing Jorgen Strand Larsen is in decent form and should be the main beneficiary of playing time while Mateta is inactive.

Eddie Nketiah - Suffers setback Nketiah (strain) remains out as he "had a setback and we will miss him for a few more weeks.", manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Wednesday.

Impact Nketiah hasn't played since Dec. 28 while continuing to struggle with muscular problems. He previously scored twice over 12 appearances across all competitions, but he had been used mostly as a bench option, so his absence impacts the squad's attacking depth. Jorgen Strand Larsen should continue to lead the front line until either Nketiah or Jean-Philippe Mateta (knee) returns.

Jefferson Lerma - Expected to miss three weeks Lerma has picked up an injury that will sideline him for upcoming contests, with manager Oliver Glasner saying "Jeff Lerma had to go off against Burnley . We're expecting to miss h...

Impact Lerma left the last Premier League matchup after recording an assist and an own goal, but he ended up dealing with a considerable issue. The defensive midfielder, who has recently been deployed at center-back, was a regular member of the lineup in recent games. Chadi Riad could be selected as his replacement unless Palace switch to a back-four formation.

Jefferson Lerma - Assist and own goal Lerma assisted once to go with an own goal, one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 36th...

Impact Lerma endured a rollercoaster outing in Wednesday's match against Burnley, first delivering a superb cross to assist Jorgen Strand Larsen before scoring an own goal just before halftime. The Colombian, who has recently secured a starting role, has tallied 18 tackles, 16 interceptions and 46 clearances across 23 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Scores brace Strand Larsen scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Burnley.

Impact Strand Larsen scored his first two goals in his new colors in Wednesday's win over Burnley, first with a well-placed strike to open the scoring off an assist from Adam Wharton, then with a header on a cross from Jefferson Lerma. The forward is an undisputed starter up front, at least until Jean-Philippe Mateta returns.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Wharton - Delivers one assist Wharton assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Burnley.

Impact Wharton assisted Jorgen Strand Larsen in the first half of Wednesday's match against Burnley, ending his streak of eight consecutive matches without a goal contribution. He added one key pass and recorded a season-high four clearances in the contest. The midfielder remains a vital presence for his side on both ends of the pitch, tallying three assists and 54 tackles across 23 Premier League appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dean Henderson - Concedes three goals Henderson recorded one save and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Burnley.

Impact Henderson made just one save and conceded three goals in Wednesday's loss to Burnley. The goalkeeper is going through a difficult stretch, recording just two clean sheets over his last 12 appearances while making 34 saves and allowing 21 goals during that span. He will look to bounce back in the upcoming Premier League match at home against Wolves.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Devenny - Fit for bench Devenny (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Burnley.

Impact Devenny is back from his two-game absence and recovers from an ankle injury, with the midfielder an option from the bench. He had been seeing more time as of late, with injuries affecting the team, starting in only five of his 18 appearances this season.

Crystal Palace make huge surgery decision on wantaway Jean-Philippe Mateta after knee injury scuppered AC Milan transfer

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Avoids surgery, few more weeks out Mateta (knee) has avoided surgery and will look to return within the next two to four weeks, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Fortunately, he doesn't need surgery [on his knee...

Impact Matteta has finally ended his saga, battling with a knee injury following a failed transfer, as the forward will not need surgery on his knee. Instead, he will take the next two to four weeks off to recover and focus on rehab at the Palace training grounds. This will leave him with a return near the end of February, but it will be a massive return for the club, with the forward notching eight goals in 23 appearances this season. Jorgen Strand Larsen appears to be set to continue seeing the start until Mateta returns.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Devenny - Set to return Wednesday Devenny (ankle) is an option for Wednesday's match against Burnley, according to manager Olivier Glasner. "Justin [injured since our last home game against Chelsea] is also returni...

Impact Devenny missed the past two games but is back for a midweek game, with the midfielder cleared ahead of Wednesday's game against the Clarets. He had started in four of the five games ahead of his injury, although that is unlikely to stick, with Daniel Munoz having returned. He has only started in five of his 18 appearances this season while recording one goal, likely to remain in his rotational spot moving forward.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Will Hughes - Strong in service Hughes registered five crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 win against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 17th minute.

Impact Even though Hughes didn't get an assist, he was accurate with his crosses and kept Crystal Palace's attack moving. He has a good chance to get an assist if he keeps up this efficiency and volume against Burnley, a team which has given up 49 goals in 25 EPL games this season.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Evann Guessand - Gets assist off bench Guessand assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Brighton.

Impact Guessand was a factor in the game's only goal, setting up his teammate Ismaila Sarr to give Crystal Palace the 1-0 win. The forward has a great chance to have another productive game, even if he comes off the bench again, in his next match against Burnley. Burnley have allowed 49 goals in domestic play this season.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ismaila Sarr - Scores winning goal Sarr scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Brighton.

Impact Sarr had what ended up being the game's only goal, and he continues to be Crystal Palace's best offensive threat. He has a great matchup coming up against Burnley, a team which has conceded 49 goals in EPL play this season.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dean Henderson - Keeps clean sheet Henderson made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Brighton.

Impact Henderson only made two saves but that was enough in a 1-0 win over Brighton. The veteran goalkeeper should be able to have a good chance at another clean sheet in his next match against Burnley, a team which averages just one goal per game in EPL play.
