Unfortunately, Crystal Palace will have to make do without the talented Michael Olise until at least April. The midfielder sustained a hamstring injury during their recent match against Brighton, and it's looking like he will be out of action for at least two months.
Olise wasn't even in the starting lineup for the game, as he was still recovering from a previous injury. However, he was brought on as a substitute at half-time when the Eagles were already trailing 3-0. Just nine minutes into his appearance, he had to be taken off due to a hamstring problem, and things only got worse from there as Palace went on to lose 4-1.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Olise was initially expected to be out for 6-8 weeks, but now it seems like he could be facing an even longer recovery time. The club will surely be hoping for a speedy recovery, but they will also be cautious about rushing him back after such a debilitating injury.
It's been a frustrating season for the 22-year-old, as he has been plagued by multiple injuries. Despite this, he has still managed to make a significant impact when he has been able to play, scoring six goals in just 11 appearances in the Premier League.
It's not just Olise who will be missing from the team, as manager Roy Hodgson is also facing challenges with other key players. Eberechi Eze is currently dealing with a hamstring problem of his own, and it's uncertain when he will be able to return to action. Hodgson provided an update on the situation, saying that although the damage may not be as severe as initially thought, Eze will still be sidelined for some time.
Defender Marc Guehi also had to leave the Brighton match early due to a knee injury, but the extent of the issue is still unknown. The club is hopeful that he will not be out for too long, but they are still waiting for confirmation.
On a positive note, Palace is set to welcome back Joel Ward, who has been out with an injury of his own. However, they will still be without Cheick Doucoure and Rob Holding for their upcoming match against Chelsea on Monday.
It's been a tough spell for Hodgson as the manager of Crystal Palace, with so many injuries and setbacks affecting the team. But they will have to push through and remain determined as they face the challenges ahead. And with the recent news of Manchester City overtaking Arsenal and Olise and Eze both out of commission, it's clear that the Eagles will have to work hard to turn things around.
