Returns in loss Sarr came off the bench for the final 10 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 loss to West Ham.

Impact Sarr was originally expected to miss Thursday's loss but it appears he recovered a bit ahead of schedule and got on the pitch Thursday. He didn't contribute too much but if he is truly fit once more he should be back in the starting XI sooner rather than later.

Five crosses in win Pape Sarr had five crosses (zero accurate) and two clearances in Friday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Sarr, who left Monday's match early with an illness, played the full 90 minutes of Friday's match. He recorded a season-high five crosses (zero accurate) and put in solid defensive work, intercepting two passes, making two clearances and blocking one shot. With the return of Rodrigo Bentancur, Sarr's place as an every-week starter may be in jeopardy when Bentancur is fully back fit. However, given how well Sarr has played this season, he will still likely see the field every week even if Bentancur returns to the starting XI.

Expected to be ready Friday Sarr has recovered from an illness and is expected to be available for Friday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

Impact Sarr should remain in the starting XI Friday, though the only worry is that it's a short week and anything can happen in the starting XI, especially with Yves Bissouma available from suspension again. Sarr has started every match since coming off the bench in the opener. Even as a defensive midfielder, he's supplied 17 assists and 10 chances created in nine appearances, which may be more of a result of the new manager's style of play.
