Four crosses off bench Matheus Franca generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Friday's 2-1 loss versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Franca made his second straight bench appearance Friday and once again made an impact in limited minutes. He recorded four crosses and four corners in his second consecutive match, to go with one created chance in his 11 minutes of action. While he is not receiving enough playing time to rely on, if he can find his way into more minutes he could be a valuable asset given what he's shown in just 31 Premier League minutes.

Scores with youth team Franca scored during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Monaco in the Premier League International Cup.

Impact Franca got the start and scored during 45 minutes on the pitch. It was another run out to improve his fitness as the midfielder looks to get on the pitch for the senior side. His first chance to do so will be a tough Friday clash with Tottenham in the Premier League.

Impact Franca was reported to progress in leaps and bounds during the international break and now he's an option for the first team.

Impact Franca has been injured since joining the team, so it'd be impossible for Hodgson to immediately give the newcomer minutes even though he's healthy. He'll need to get up his match fitness in addition to acclimating to the Premier League, which is completely new for him after joining from Flamengo in the summer.

Impact In addition to being a new signing, Franca has been injured the last two months, which means he has a long path to finding his way into the squad.

Impact Franca is still out indefinitely, there's a chance the scans come back totally positive and he is out until after the break, or it could still be a month and potentially more. With no definite timeline on his return Franca simply isn't one Palace can plan around in the near future. Michael Olise also remains sidelined, meaning Odsonne Edouard and Jordan Ayew will continue in the starting XI.

Impact Franca doesn't even have a confirmation for what injury he's dealing with exactly despite more than a month with Palace. It's a worst case scenario for the forward who has no definite timeline for his return.
