Jean-Philippe Mateta - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.
