Impact Edouard left a recent friendly against Sunderland with an adductor problem, and while he's been working individually all week, his involvement remains uncertain heading into the weekend. He was a key part of Lens' attack last season, notching a joint team high 12 goals in league play, and Franjo Ivanovic figures to be the likely option to lead the attack if Edouard is ultimately unavailable. Edouard is expected to have his status clarified once he rejoins the group Saturday.

Suffers adductor injury Edouard left Saturday's preparation match versus Sunderland with an adductor problem and is set to undergo an MRI scan, Bernard Lions of L'Equipe reports.

Impact Edouard is a serious doubt for the Trophee des Champions clash against Paris Saint-Germain, as there's a chance he's dealing with an important injury. The striker's absence would force a change in the team's usual lineup, with summer signing Thorgan Hazard and youngster Rayan Fofana available as fill-in options if required in upcoming contests. Edouard had been a key element of the squad's attack last season, notching a joint team-high count of 12 goals in league play.

Dealt achilles pain Edouard is out for Thursday's match against Fredrikstad due to an achilles injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Odsonne told us he can't train and play, because he has pai...

Impact Edouard is going to be sidelined for the time being, with the forward hitting the sidelines after suffering pain in their achilles. Luckily for the club, this appears to be a minor loss, as the forward has only appeared for two minutes in one appearance so far this campaign. This will put him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's match against Aston Villa, needing a big boost to make the team sheet.

AUGUST 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unsuccessful loan spell Edouard made four appearances for Leicester City during the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Impact Edouard was rarely used at the King Power Stadium and all four of his appearances came off the bench, so it makes sense to see him return to Selhurst Park at the end of this spell. He's not expected to remain as part of the Palace squad for the 2025/26 campaign, though, with teams in the MLS and Saudi Arabia reportedly interested in signing him. Palace are believed to be open to listening to offers for the Frenchman.

JUNE 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of selection Edouard has yet to be selected by manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, last making a squad in December.

Impact Edouard isn't injured, as van Nistelrooy has talked about the striker being behind Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka in the pecking order. It's a tough situation for Edouard, who was a regular starter at times for Crystal Palace prior seasons, but now he can't even make the bench for a team that can't score and is about to be relegated.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for Sunday Edouard (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Brighton on Sunday.

Impact Edouard misses his fourth straight match despite returning to training in the buildup to Sunday's fixture. The forward has yet to start since joining Leicester totaling 26 minutes across four substitute appearances.

Back in training Edouard (undisclosed) returned to training ahead of Sunday's clash with Brighton, according to manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Odsonne [Edouard] was part of team training today and ba...

Impact Edouard returned to training after missing the last three matches. Even when fit the forward hasn't been a major contributor in the starting XI. If Edouard can get fit he'd likely be a bench option for Sunday's match against Brighton.

Eligible again Edouard is eligible to play again after sitting out last match due to facing his parent club.

Impact Edouard had his Foxes debut delayed due to playing his parent club in the club's last match, with Leicester tying Crystal Palace 2-2. However, he is now an option again and is expected to see time in their next contest. He isn't guaranteed a starting spot, although he should at least see time off the bench.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Facing parent club Edouard is out for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace due to playing his parent club.

Impact Edouard will have to sit out the club's upcoming match, having been loan-locked as the Foxes will face Palace. This will be somewhat of a significant loss, as he has started in one of the club's three matches this campaign. He will next be available to face Everton on Sept. 21.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to Leicester Edouard has joined Leicester City on a season-long loan from Crystal Palace.

Impact Edouard makes the move to Leicester following a decline in playing time at Palace once new manager Oliver Glasner took over last season. Edouard has scored 21 goals in his three seasons at Palace and will provide depth behind the aging Jamie Vardy at Leicester.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ends up on bench Edouard finished the season with no starts in his last 10 appearances, despite scoring seven times.

Impact Edouard was a starter earlier in the season, but under new manager Oliver Glasner he fell entirely out of favor. There's still a path to playing time for Edouard if he can impress in pre-season, but Jean-Philippe Mateta is certainly in pole position for the top job at the moment.

MAY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores off bench Edouard scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Edouard earned his first goal in some time Saturday, as he scored in the 86th minute, ending his goalless drought that extends back to Dec. 3. This gave the forward his seventh goal of the season in his 24 appearances, still having yet to bag an assist. He will now hope to earn the starting spot back he held at the start of the beginning of the campaign, only appearing off the bench in his last four appearances on the field.

Surprise off bench Edouard (knee) came off the bench during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.

Impact Edouard was ruled out hours before the match but somehow made his return off the bench. It's not clear how he recovered so quickly, but it's a good sign that he was so far ahead of schedule. Edouard is still one to monitor in training ahead of a Saturday clash with Manchester City.

Won't play Tuesday Edouard will not be an option for Tuesday's match against Bournemouth, as he appears to be dealing with a knee injury, with manager Oliver Glasner stating, "No, they're not availab...

Impact Edouard was held out of the club's most recent contest against Nottingham due to an apparent injury, with that injury appearing to be a knee problem, and he is now set to miss another match against Bournemouth on Tuesday. However, it looks like he could be back at any time following that match, possibly for the tilt against Manchester City on Saturday, as the injury was deemed not serious. The forward will now hope to see the team training this week and make his return within the next two weeks, looking to not miss much time due to his issues.

Fires four shots in win Edouard registered four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Burnley.

Impact Edouard picked up his second consecutive start, in his fifth game back in action after a five-game absence that began mid-December. He played 66 minutes in the match and delivered his best effort among the last five outings, recording more than three shots for the first time in the last nine appearances. Edouard also accounted for a chance created for the third time in the last four games.

Starts and takes two shots Edouard registered two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 1-1 draw against Everton.

Impact Edouard was back in the starting XI after three appearances off bench in a row. The forward started for the last time in early-December before suffering a calf injury. He scored six goals in the campaign and will now look to reclaim his spot.

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for bench role Edouard (calf) is in Crystal Palace's match day squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Edouard returns from a calf injury which has kept him out of Palace's last three matches. The forward is available from the bench with Jean-Philippe Mateta continuing to lead the line.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain to face Brentford Edouard (calf) might not be ready to face Brentford on Saturday, manager Roy Hodgson told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "We will see in the training session t...

Impact The fact that Edouard has been training away from the rest of the squad doesn't boost his chances of playing against the Bees, but Hodgson also said the return of the French "it's not a 100 percent priority" with the way Jean-Philippe Mateta is playing." All signs point to Mateta keeping his place in the XI to take on the Bees, while Edouard's best-case scenario would be to crack the bench. If that's not an alternative, then Edouard's next chance to play will come against Arsenal on Jan. 20.
