NATHANIEL CLYNE NEWS

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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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 • 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.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Four crosses in draw Clyne had four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Clyne sent in four crosses from the right side of the defense, seeing a surprising amount of attacking space in a match he would have expected to be pinned back in. The defender has yet to get on the scoresheet and has sent in just 13 crosses in 13 appearances, limiting his offensive upside in all formats. Still Clyne has done well to compile some decent defensive stats, with 17 tackles in that span and 21 clearances.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench against Southampton Clyne is fit and in the match day squad to face Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Clyne returns early from a leg injury that originally was thought to keep him out much longer. The full-back has started five matches for Palace, but begins Saturday's contest from the bench.

Out multiple weeks Clyne (leg) will be out a couple more weeks, according to Patrick Vieira. "He went to the hospital and is back at home now. He came in for training once every two days to do some w...

Impact It's a positive update on Clyne after he was stretchered off last match. While there's a chance he doesn't return before the World Cup, he should definitely be good after the break. Joel Ward figures to start at right-back in his absence, something he has plenty of experience doing.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stretchered off with injury Clyne was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Chelsea due to a leg injury.

Impact Clyne was subbed off in the 44th minute after suffering an injury to his leg. More information on the extent of injury should be available ahead of next week's match with Leeds.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Staying on with Palace Clyne is staying at Crystal Palace after signing a new one-year contract.

Impact Clyne was a trialist before the season two years ago and he's turned that into 28 league starts the last two campaigns after being in bit of a limbo. He started the final 14 matches of the campaign this past season, but it's a wonder if Palace will sign someone else to take up that role, as Joel Ward is the other option at right-back.

JUNE 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Great during start Clyne logged six clearances and two interceptions across 90 minutes during a 1-0 win Sunday versus Manchester United.

Impact After becoming a primary starter in place of Joel Ward, Clyne logged 29 clearances and 13 interceptions across 14 consecutive Premier League appearances since Feb. 19. Clyne only signed a one-year deal at the beginning of the season, so his future is unclear, though it appears Patrick Vieira took a liking to him the close the campaign.

Wilfried Zaha came off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner for Crystal Palace against Southampton in the English Premier League

Impact Clyne set up Eberechi Eze in the 60th minute assisting Palace's first goal. The assist was the first of the season for the fullback while his two tackles tied for the team-high total in the win.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in FA Cup Clyne (COVID-19) returned to play a couple minutes off the bench in Saturday's FA Cup win against Millwall.

Impact Clyne is available again after missing the last three league matches because of COVID-19. While he only has one start this season, he's the immediate backup at right-back and could see more time if injuries come about for Palace.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Tuesday Clyne (illness) will not be in the match-day squad to face Norwich City on Tuesday.

Impact It will be the second consecutive absence for Clyne due to his lingering illness. Considering the defender has gotten onto the pitch just twice this season, serving as an unused substitute 13 times, his absence is unlikely to impact fantasy players and he figures to remain a relative non-factor once cleared to return.
