Impact Zaha has not had the best of luck keeping healthy this season, sustaining yet another injury Saturday. His status of return before the campaign ends is unclear until he the results from his scans are revealed. The forward's only scored seven goals in 27 matches this season, only half the amount he had from 2022. Odsonne Edouard could start at forward next Saturday against Fulham if Zaha is not fit to play.

Comes off injured vs. Bournemouth Zaha was subbed out of Saturday's clash against Bournemouth in the 51st minute after suffering an injury. He took two shots in the match before being taken off.

Impact Zaha was forced out of Saturday's game just after halftime due to an injury, with Odsonne Edouard coming in to replace him on the left wing. He'll hope this isn't a significant setback as Palace has just two matches left this season.

Impact Zaha did not have his best outing Saturday, as he recorded three crosses (all inaccurate), two off-target shots and one chance created. He also won one tackle, intercepted one pass and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action. He picked up a yellow card in the 91st minute as well, his fifth booking of the season.

Ends scoring drought in win Zaha took four shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 victory against West Ham United. He also created a chance and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Zaha plugged straight back into the XI on the left wing Saturday after recovering from a groin injury he suffered at the start of April, and he slotted home his first goal since the World Cup break as Palace all but ensured their safety in the Premier League for next season with this win over West Ham. It had been 13 appearances and almost six months since Zaha's last goal in the competition, but he's now up to seven on the campaign.

Starting versus West Ham Zaha (groin) has been selected in the XI to face West Ham Saturday.

Impact Zaha will re-claim his starting job right away after missing four matches with a groin injury, replacing Odsonne Edouard. He has notched 17 shots (four on target), two chances created, and eight inaccurate crosses in his last five appearances.

Available Saturday Zaha (groin) has trained for a few days and will be in the squad Saturday against West Ham, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Zaha could make an immediate return to the starting XI Saturday, though it may be best to take it slow, as he's been out the last month with a muscle injury. If he were to come in, he'd likely take the spot of Jordan Ayew in the XI, though that could be a revolving door as the season closes with Odsonne Edouard also an option to be moved out of the XI.

Pictured on pitch Zaha (groin) was pictured on the pitch Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Zaha was expected to practice late this week and that looks to be the case Thursday. Of course, he's been out since the beginning of the month, so it's hard to see him immediately entering the starting XI Saturday against West Ham, though it wouldn't be impossible. Either way, Zaha hasn't found much form in the second half of the season, failing to score since Nov. 6.

Palace still need Zaha – only he can unlock some defences Crystal Palace seemed OK without Wilfried Zaha for a few matches, but the reality is only he can unlock some defences

APRIL 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Hopeful to train next week Zaha (groin) is hopeful to train next week, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Zaha has been out since injuring his groin April 1 and his timeline hasn't changed that much since. While he hopes to train next week, that likely keeps him out the next two matches with the trip to Wolverhampton on Tuesday. Jordan Ayew has played well in Zaha's absence and will likely remain in the starting XI for a revived Palace team under Hodgson.

Likely out until end of month Zaha (groin) is targeting a return at the end of the month, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Certainly both of them will be targeting games at the end of this month. That's their...

Impact It sounds like Zaha will miss the next two matches, at a minimum. It's been almost two weeks since the initial injury and Hodgson doesn't have any further update on Zaha's status. Of course, Palace have played fine without him, scoring five goals at Leeds last weekend with Jordan Ayew back in the starting XI in Zaha's place.

Muscle strain confirmed Zaha picked up a muscle strain during Saturday's 2-1 win against Leicester City. "I'm certainly concerned but I have no idea. Muscle strains can be long jobs. If we're very lucky i...

Impact This is not what Zaha would have liked after recently coming back from injury. On top of this, he has had a tough season trying to score goals with just six goals in in 24 games. More information on his status should be released within the next coming days, once scans are done on his injury.

Off ahead of halftime Zaha was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Leicester City due to injury.

Impact Zaha left the match just ahead of halftime after succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Jordan Ayew. More information about the attacker's extent of injury should be available ahead of next week's match against Leeds.

Takes three shots versus Arsenal Zaha had three shots (two on target), created one chance and drew three fouls during Sunday's 4-1 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Zaha made some good plays here and there but was still overmatched by Arsenal's defense. After incredible individual campaigns over the last two seasons, the winger has been largely unproductive as of late, with his last goal being back in November. He'll try to bounce back on Apr. 1, when his side hosts Leicester.

Takes two shots in loss Zaha took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Brighton. He also made two interceptions and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Zaha returned to the left wing Wednesday but was still unable to find the net for the first time since November against Brighton.

Takes three shots against Man City Zaha took three shots in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Zaha has taken five shots across his two games at center forward since returning from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the entirety of February, but none of those five have been on target.

Quiet in return Zaha took two shots (both off target), recorded one inaccurate cross and was shown a yellow card in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Aston Villa.

Impact Zaha did not have his best performance after missing the past four matches (hamstring), as he failed to record a shot on target, create a chance or record an accurate cross for just the second time this season. He also recorded just seven total passes, his second fewest this season. To make matters worse, Zaha was shown a yellow card in the 87th minute, his fourth booking of the season. He did play the full 90 minutes which is a positive sign after more than a month off, but it may take a little bit of time for him to get back into form.

Starts Saturday Zaha (hamstring) is starting Saturday against Aston Villa.

Impact The presence of Zaha in the lineup is not surprising after manager Patrick Vieira confirmed the Ivory Coast international would be in the squad earlier this week. Zaha will play for the Eagles for the first time since Jan. 21 and missed four games in a row.

Will be available Saturday Zaha (hamstring) "will be in the squad" for the clash against Aston Villa on Saturday, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira announced in his Friday press conference.

Impact Zaha has been out since late January with a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for Palace's last four games, but he's been training with the team for two weeks now and is now healthy enough to return Saturday against Villa, according to Vieira, though it's unclear whether he's ready to do so from the start or only from off the bench. Zaha should take over Jean-Philippe Mateta's spot in the attacking line once he's fully fit.

Training ahead of Villa game Zaha (hamstring) was pictured in training Thursday with Crystal Palace heading into Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Zaha has missed his side's last four Premier League games since suffering a hamstring injury in late January, but he's been training for a week now and might be fit enough to be available for Saturday's clash with Villa. More should be known about his status after Palace does their press conference.

Training, could be option Saturday Zaha (hamstring) returned to training Friday and is considered a late test for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Patrick Vieira. "Wilfried is getting better....

Impact This update is a bit better than last week when Zaha was given a two-week timeline. Still, one training session the day before a match doesn't mean he'll be in the starting XI. At best, he'll be on the bench and used if actually fit, but it's still likely he won't be an option given the nature of the injury.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still multiple weeks away Zaha (hamstring) is only training individually and is still a "couple of weeks" away from a full return, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact The news earlier this week of Zaha running on the pitch got a little out of hand and finally Vieira has provided a solid update on the striker. Zaha will likely miss the next two matches with more starts expected for the likes of Odsonne Edouard or Jean-Philippe Mateta, neither of whom has really put their clamps on the job.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Zaha (hamstring) was pictured training individually Wednesday ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Zaha originally had a multi-week timeline and Saturday's match is almost a full month removed from the initial injury. If he can get back in regular training this week, there's a slight chance he'll be ready Saturday, though given the absence and injury, it probably wouldn't be best to push Zaha back into the XI even if he's played through certain injuries in the past.
