Nathaniel Clyne - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds bench role Clyne (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Impact Clyne recovered sufficiently from the illness that had left him uncertain heading into the weekend to earn a spot in the squad, with coach Oliver Glasner confirming he had shown improvement by Thursday evening and come through his assessment. The defender has managed just 76 Premier League minutes since Jan. 4, and a bench role represents a familiar and manageable return to action against his former side at Anfield. If he features, the appearance would mark his 250th for the club, adding an extra layer of significance to his potential involvement.

Impact Clyne would mark his 250th club appearance if he features against his former side at Anfield, adding an extra layer of significance to his potential involvement. That said, his absence would have a limited impact on the starting lineup given his rotational role this season, having managed just 76 Premier League minutes since Jan. 4. The club will make a final call on his availability ahead of Saturday's kickoff.

Four crosses Thursday Clyne registered four crosses (one accurate) and two tackles in Thursday's 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Impact Clyne made his first appearance since Jan. 4 Thursday as he replaced Daniel Munoz (shoulder) in the 14th minute due to an injury. Clyne played well following his long layoff as he won three duels and recorded two clearances, one interception and one tackle in his 76 minutes off the bench. He has a decent chance to start Sunday's match versus Leeds if Munoz needs more time to recover.

Bench option Clyne (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Clyne is no longer injured and is with the team as expected, with the defender picked for the bench after three games out. A bench spot should remain for the defender moving forward, with Daniel Munoz likely to continue on the right flank.

Option to face Nottingham Clyne (groin) is an option for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Gasner. "Nathaniel is back in the squad tomorrow. Borna Sosa has a minor muscl...

Impact Clyne is set to feature again after three games out, with the defender finally overcoming his groin injury. This comes after he started in six straight games before his injury. However, he is likely to return to more of a bench spot, with Daniel Munoz returning to his right-back role after Clyne held it while he was injured.

Suffers abductor injury Clyne (groin) is out for Wednesday's match against Aston Villa due to an abductor injury, according to manager Oliver Galsner. "Nathaniel has a minor abductor injury and the plan i...

Impact Clyne is not going to be with the club after he suffered a knock in the club;s last outing, as an abductor injury is enough to keep him out. The good news is he is only expected to miss one match, with a potential return when facing Sunderland on Jan. 17. He has started six straight games, so this will force a change, with Justin Devenny as a possible option on the right flank.

Suffers injury against Newcastle Clyne left Sunday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle with a groin issue and was mentioned by coach Oliver Glasner "We made a concussion sub in the first half, and made another substitution st...

Impact Clyne has started at right wing-back in each of the last six games while Daniel Munoz (knee) is sidelined, but now the veteran could also be dealing with a fitness concern. Justin Devenny replaced him Sunday and could be an option to fill in if Clyne is ruled out. However, the extent of the injury is still unclear.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Provides one assist Clyne assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Clyne delivered an excellent performance against Fulham on Thursday, contributing at both ends of the pitch. He picked up his first assist of the season by sending in a superb cross after a dribble to set up Jean-Philippe Mateta, while also adding two tackles, one interception and four clearances defensively. Typically a depth option when the squad is fully fit, the defender has now made five consecutive Premier League starts due to Daniel Munoz's injury and should continue to feature until his return.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Notches two crosses Clyne recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Clyne earned a second consecutive start Sunday as he fills in for the injured Daniel Munoz, playing 77 minutes from the right flank. He recorded a decent display with one tackle won, a clearance and two crosses, although three goals allowed was a rough showing. He is likely to remain in this role for a few more games until Munoz is fit again.

'That's why he can't play' - Oliver Glasner confirms reason for Daniel Munoz absence as Crystal Palace face Fulham without impressive right-back

Starting friendly Clyne started Friday's friendly against Crawley Town.

Impact Clyne finished the Premier League season on the sideline with an illness, but as expected is fully fit and available for action once more. He's likely to be a depth option both at center-back and right-back. He made just 13 appearances (five starts) for 481 total minutes last season.

JULY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Extends with Palace for a year Clyne has extended his contract with Crystal Palace.

Impact Clyne will remain with Palace for another season, inking an extension for one year following the 2024/25 campaign. He would start in five of his 13 appearances, seeing more of a rotational role when needed due to injuries. That said, the defender will likely carry a similar role into the new season.

JUNE 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in depth role Clyne made 13 appearances (five starts) in the Premier League during the final year of his contract.

Impact Clyne's role with Palace has dwindled, unsurprisingly as he's in the twilight of his career. The defender hardly played in the Premier League, and finished on the sideline with an illness. He hasn't officially departed the club yet, but even if he re-signs it won't be in any significant role.

JUNE 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season finale Clyne (illness) is not in the squad for Sunday's match at Liverpool.

Impact Clyne misses out as he's dealing with an illness to end the season. The fullback hasn't featured in a match since April.

MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call due to illness Clyne is doubtful for Sunday's match against Liverpool due to an illness, accoridng to manager Olivier Glasner.

Impact Clyne is going to be a late call for Sunday's match after picking up an illness, leaving him doubtful for their season finale. The good news is this shouldn't affect much for the team, as he last played April 12. That said, even if he is fit, expect a bench role.

MAY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Incredible defensive display Clyne generated four tackles (four won) and five clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Leicester City.

Impact Clyne put in a mammoth defensive display as he helped Palace save a draw. He only started his second game and won all four of his tackles, and made five clearances in only 54 minutes.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Staying with Palace Clyne signed a one-year deal that will keep him at Crystal Palace until 2025.

Impact Clyne will remain with the club after catching the eye of new manager Oliver Glasner and starting at center-back the final seven matches of the season. While that may not be the case in the new season with a healthy Marc Guehi, he at least seems to be one of the first defenders off the bench for Palace, having started at least 13 games each of the past four seasons.

JUNE 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid when needed Clyne played 19 times (14 starts) in the Premier League, creating three chances.

Impact Clyne played both as a center-back and right-back under new manager Oliver Glasner, and did well. Clyne's contract expires at the end of the season, though he's reportedly still negotiating with the club. Even if Clyne is brought back it would likely be in more of a depth role.

MAY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs on for another year at Palace Clyne has signed a one-year contract extension with Crystal Palace, the club announced Friday.

Impact Clyne has featured 59 times in all competitions across his three seasons since returning to Palace, including two clean sheets from 19 Premier League starts in this last campaign. The 32-year-old has extended his stay with the club through 2023/24, where he'll likely continue in a rotational role behind Joel Ward at right-back.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season in bench role Clyne made 22 appearances (19 starts) during the 2022-23 season.

Impact Clyne was a nailed on starter until suffering a knee injury which kept him out of four matches in April. Even when deemed fit to start May, Clyne found himself on the bench with Joel Ward preferred in the starting XI to end the campaign.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench Saturday Clyne (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Clyne has not started a match since mid-March and has been dealing with a knee injury over the last few weeks, but he has been deemed fit enough to crack the bench. That said, he is expected to remain Joel Ward's backup in the season's final weeks.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available for weekend Clyne (knee) has returned to training and will be an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham. "He's been back in training, which is good news for us. He'll be available to p...

Impact Clyne has not started a match since March 15 after missing the last month of the season with a knee injury. He's expected to remain on the bench until he regains full match fitness, with Joel Ward the likely favorite to start at right back Saturday.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected train next week Clyne (knee) is expected to train next week, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Clyne will likely miss the next three matches and his return to the squad is far from guaranteed at the end of the month. He was moved to the bench prior to injury and will have a hard time displacing Joel Ward at right-back given the team's recent success.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with knee injury Clyne will miss time with a knee injury, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "He's felt his knee, so unfortunately we won't have the benefits of Nathaniel for this game. We don't bel...

Impact Clyne has played just three minutes the last three matches, so even when healthy, he doesn't look like a preferred option for Hodgson. Still, he's been useful for Palace this season, starting 19 matches at right-back, albeit resulting in just two clean sheets.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

One cross in draw Clyne had one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 26th minute.

Impact Clyne sent in a single cross against his former club, coming away with the clean sheet, just his second in 16 starts. The right-back has been a nailed-on starter since the end of the World Cup break, though he lacks any sort of offensive upside, with only two chances created in that span.
