Nottingham Forest vs. Crystal Palace: Feb 1, 2026

Mateta is not going to be in the squad to face Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "We will talk about things we can confirm. I can confirm JP will not be in the matchday squad, but it is nothing to do right now with the transfers. He is not in the place. To play makes no sense. We have to protect the team and I have to protect him. That is why he will not travel with us to Nottingham."

Guessand has joined Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season with an option to make it permanent.

Savona (knee) won't be involved in Sunday's contest against Crystal Palace, but there's no clarity on how long he'll be sidelined for, according to manager Sean Dyche. "It's just a settling period for him now, over the next five to seven days," Dyche said. "We will then make another decision on whether it is going to need an intervention or not - nothing too drastic but it will keep him out for a bit of time. We will know more in the next week."

Wood (knee) is making "steady progress" but doesn't have a clear return date yet, manager Sean Dyche told media Thursday. "The repair on the knee has gone well and it is just steady progress now. It is week by week and making sure it is going in the right direction, which it certainly is so far."
