Could return against West Ham Nketiah (hamstring) will be sidelined for Saturday's match against Sunderland but is expected to return later this month, manager Oliver Glasner told media during his pre-match pre...

Impact Nketiah suffered a hamstring injury in pre-season. He was initially expected to be sidelined for around eight weeks, and the timeline seems about right. Based on Glasner's words, even though an appearance against West Ham might be too soon, it hasn't been ruled out yet. A more conservative approach would put him ready to return against Liverpool on Saturday, Sep. 27.

Absence extended Nketiah will be sidelined for eight weeks due to his hamstring injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Impact Nketiah was announced to have picked up an injury earlier in the week and was expected to miss six weeks, but has had that extended, now expected to miss around eight weeks of action. This sets him up for a return around mid-October, hoping his stay on the sidelines isn't extended. This will be something to watch as the season approaches, as Matheus Franca (undisclosed) is also injured, leaving the club low in backup attacking options.

Out six weeks Nketiah has been ruled out for six weeks due to a hamstring injury he suffered in a friendly against Augsburg, according to Sami Mokbel and Alex Howell of the BBC.

Impact Nketiah will enter the new season on the sidelines, with the forward suffering from a hamstring injury that will leave him out for around six weeks. This is a tough blow as he will now miss their Community Shield match against Liverpool and will miss a few weeks to open the season, expected to return in September. This will limit the club's depth at forward, although they likely won't have to change the starting XI due to his absence.

Struggles off bench Nketiah scored three goals and added one assist in 29 appearances (nine starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Nketiah was brought in to replace the outgoing Michael Olise and failed to really live up to that. In fact his production actually took a downturn compared to his final season with Arsenal, despite playing a similar role. Nketiah should have the chance to improve with Palace, but barring transfer departures he isn't likely to be the top starting option.

Brace Tuesday Nketiah scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-2 victory versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Nketiah was back in the starting role for the first time in four appearances Tuesday, seeing 81 minutes of play. He would score a brace in the match, finding the back of the net in the 27th and 32nd minutes in rapid succession. He now has three goals and one assist in 28 appearances (nine starts) this season.

Serves ban Nketiah is no longer suspended and is an option once again.

Impact Nketiah served his one-match ban Saturday against City and is no longer banned, with the forward an option for Wednesday's contest. He hasn't started in his past three outings and will likely return to a bench role in their next game.

Sees red Nketiah was shown a red card in Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Nketiah is heading to the sidelines for a match, as the forward saw a red card Saturday. This comes after seeing two yellow cards, one in the 69th minute and another in the 78th minute. This will force him out to face Manchester City on April 12, returning against Newcastle on April 16 against Nottingham. He did appear as a substitute, so this shouldn't force a change.

Impact Nketiah was back on the field after going unused last match, although he did only see four minutes of play. He would score in extra time to put the exclamation point on top of their win, bagging his first goal of the season. However, it was his second goal contribution, seeing an assist Dec. 15.

Not playing in FA Cup Nketiah (ankle) is not in the squad for Monday's FA Cup clash against Doncaster Rovers.

Impact Nketiah is struggling with an ankle injury he picked up in training and is a big doubt. The forward would be a major blow, especially with Eberechi Eze (foot) ruled out. Nketiah has been a bench option for the most part since joining Palace.

Assists as sub Nketiah assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-1 win against Brighton.

Impact Nketiah is back earlier than expected after suffering a hamstring injury just before the international break. He will try his chances for a starting role in the attack, though will have to compete with Ismaila Sarr and Justin Devenny for that, having missing two games with his injury. Nketiah managed to start all but one game played this campaign, failing to land on the scoreboard with 17 shots (six on target).

Hamstring injury confirmed Nketiah (hamstring) is out for Saturday's clash with Fulham due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Nketiah is out with a hamstring injury."

Impact Nketiah suffered the hamstring injury during a clash with Wolves and is now set for a spell on the sideline. There's no specific timeline for his recovery, but with any sort of hamstring injury there's always a chance of setbacks or further issues. Nketiah's outlook should be clearer as he works on recovery during the break.

Suffers hamstring injury Nketiah suffered a hamstring injury and is a major doubt for Saturday's clash with Fulham, South London Press reports.

Impact Nketiah is the latest in a long line of Palace players to have suffered potentially serious injuries. The forward is now set to miss the final match before the November international break. Before that match, manager Oliver Glasner will likely have an update on Nketiah's long-term outlook.

Four chances created Nketiah generated four shots (two on goal) and four chances created in Monday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nketiah came so close to multiple goal contributions, both as a provider and finisher. The striker didn't end up finding the back of the net, but he was busy throughout and piled on volume. It's been a disappointing start to life with Palace, but Nketiah has shown promise and could be the top choice striker moving forward.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Six shots but only one on goal Nketiah recorded six shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Leicester City.

Impact Nketiah played the full 90 minutes in his first game for Crystal Palace and attempted more shots than any other player on the pitch. One of his chances, in particular, was a shot that glanced just past the post. Despite no goal involvement and only one shot on target, these are promising signs for the new forward signing.
