Impact Andersen had a solid display at the heart of the defense, pacing his side in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay. With 16 clearances over his last three starts, the centre back will have a much tougher challenger next Saturday as his side faces world champions Chelsea.

Late own goal helps Brighton to draw with Crystal Palace 1-1

Striker Neal Maupay’s late pass forced an own goal from defender Joachim Andersen as Brighton drew at home to fierce rival Crystal Palace 1-1 in the English Premier League

Available against West Ham Andersen (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's clash with West Ham, according to assistant manager Osian Roberts.

Impact Andersen is available Saturday despite a late injury scare against Norwich. The defender will hope to make his return to the starting XI immediately. James Tomkins would figure to play in the unlikely event Andersen cannot.

Exits late against Norwich Andersen was forced off late with an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's match against Norwich.

Impact It's another injury for Andersen, who only recently returned from a hamstring injury. The hope is that it's not a similar injury because it'd likely keep him out the next match, at a minimum. Palace have been noticeably worse with James Tomkins on the back line, so this injury has to be monitored.

Fit to face Southampton Andersen (hamstring) is "fit and available" for Wednesday's match against Southampton, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Andersen after he returned to training last week. There's a decent chance he could be back in the XI Wednesday for James Tomkins, mainly because he's been training for a week and is definitely the preferred option at center-back.

Training ahead of Everton match Andersen (hamstring) took part in training and could be an option Sunday against Everton, confirmed manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact The main thing for Andersen is that he doesn't return too soon from his hamstring issue because if he does, he could further add a couple weeks to the timeline. He's been out since Nov. 20 and if he can train fully another day, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the XI Sunday, taking the spot of James Tomkins.

Late test against Man United Andersen (hamstring) will be a late test for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to assistant manager Osian Roberts.

Impact Andersen has missed the last two games with a hamstring issue, both losses for Palace. While this may only be a tweak for him, it's not a good idea to return too early, meaning James Tomkins could be set for another call in another tough spot against Man United.

Will miss Leeds trip Andersen will miss Tuesday's trip to Leeds with a hamstring injury, according to manager Patrick Vieira. "He is still not 100 percent. We have to evaluate the injury every day and...

Impact Andersen appears to have a minor hamstring injury, but the team still doesn't know the extent of it, which isn't good. He's been a rock on the back line and it wouldn't be surprising if he missed a couple more matches, meaning more starts for James Tomkins are possible unless Cheikhou Kouyate returns to center-back.

Out against Villa Andersen is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa for an undisclosed reason.

Impact Andersen is a surprise absence Saturday, which means James Tomkins is getting the start at center-back. Andersen has been a nice addition to Palace this season and his absence is a definite downgrade for them in a tough matchup.

Impact Andersen assisted Cristian Benteke's opener in the eighth minute, while leading his side in clearances during the road draw. The centerback will now look for a clean sheet when they host Aston Villa on Saturday.

Good for Saturday Andersen (undisclosed) has trained this week and will travel to Burnley for Saturday's match, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Andersen, as he's been training all week despite leaving the national team early. He's expected to remain in his usual role in the starting XI against Burnley where he's held back-to-back clean sheets against Man City and Wolves.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Andersen (undisclosed) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Impact It looks like Andersen should be fine after leaving the Denmark team early with a physical issue. He's started all but one match for Palace this season and if healthy, he'll remain in the starting XI going forward where he has four clean sheets in 10 starts.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Released from national team Andersen has been released by the Danish national team because of a minor physical issue that will be assessed in the coming days.

Impact This isn't what Palace fans want to hear, but Andersen still has more than a week to completely recover. If it's truly minor, there's a chance he'll remain in the back for next week's trip to Burnley. If not, Palace may be forced to give someone like James Tomkins a start at center-back. Andersen has started 10-straight matches and it doesn't appear like he'll be letting go of that spot soon after back-to-back clean sheets.

NOVEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two starts so far Andersen has started two of Crystal Palace's opening three matches of the season.

Impact Andersen was used as a substitute in the opening match against Chelsea but started both of Palace's two matches before the international break. The defender should continue to see minutes for his new team moving forward after a Summer move from Lyon.

Signs with Crystal Palace Andersen has signed a five-year deal with Crystal Palace away from Lyon.

Impact Andersen provides Crystal Palace with immediate Premier League experience on the back line, something they lost after the departure of numerous players this summer. Andersen comes from Lyon, but he started 30 matches for Fulham while on loan last season. He'll likely fight for minutes with Marc Guehi and Cheikhou Kouyate.
