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.

Grows into role Kamada didn't record a goal or assist in 34 appearances (15 starts) last season, producing 20 shots and 20 chances created.

Impact Kamada struggled in his first season at Crystal Palace, failing to make the score sheet standing out the most. He opened the season in an attacking role, but once Ismaila Sarr stole a spot in the XI, Kamada eventually moved back in the formation and ended the season in a deeper central role where he often started next to Adam Wharton, including in the FA Cup final. Of course, a deeper role means even fewer attacking stats.

He reunites with his former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner in London and is set for a prominent role in the midfield. He tallied two goals, two assists, 33 shots (10 on target) and 25 chances created in 36 appearances (20 starts) in 2023/2024, while he was more productive during his time in the Bundesliga.
