Eberechi Eze, the talented midfielder for Crystal Palace, has been a crucial player for the team this season. However, his recent injury has caused some concern for the club and its fans. Although initial fears were high, it has been confirmed that Eze's injury is not as severe as originally thought. Nevertheless, he will not be able to play in this weekend's highly anticipated match against London rivals, Chelsea.
The game against Chelsea holds great importance for both teams, as they are both in need of points to climb the Premier League table. Chelsea, currently sitting at 11th, have had some disappointing results recently, including losses to Liverpool and Wolves. However, their recent victory in the FA Cup against Aston Villa has relieved some of the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino. On the other hand, Crystal Palace has been struggling with injuries to key players such as Cheick Doucoure, who is out for the season, and Michael Olise and Marc Guehi, who were both injured in the previous match against Brighton.
The Eagles have only managed three wins in their last 18 games, leaving them just five points above the relegation zone. The fans are calling for changes to be made, with some even demanding the sacking of manager Roy Hodgson. Eze's absence from the team has also contributed to their poor form, as he has been a standout performer when healthy. However, he has been plagued by a hamstring problem, causing him to miss the last game against Brighton and potentially the next few weeks of matches.
There is some positive news, however, as it has been reported that Eze's injury is not as serious as first thought. He is expected to return to the team in two or three weeks, which means he will miss the upcoming game against Chelsea, as well as crucial matches against Everton and Burnley. If all goes well, he could be back in time for their match against Tottenham on March 2nd.
Eze's absence from the team has been evident, as Palace has failed to win any of the seven games he has missed this season. In fact, they have only scored four goals in those matches. This could also have an impact on his chances of making the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. However, his return to the team will be eagerly awaited by both Crystal Palace and England fans.
In other news, Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has expressed frustration over his lack of playing time, while manager Mauricio Pochettino has responded to Enzo Fernandez's controversial celebration in their recent win against Chelsea. Arsenal, who have also been in the news for exploring a deal for Kylian Mbappe, are reportedly giving up on signing Edu after two unsuccessful loan spells.
