Crystal Palace's striker, Eddie Nketiah, has had a bit of a rough start to his time with the team. Despite his £25 million transfer from Arsenal on deadline day, he has yet to make a significant impact on the field. To make matters worse, he recently suffered a hamstring injury that will force him to miss their upcoming match against Fulham.
However, Palace boss Oliver Glasner has denied any speculation that there is something suspicious about Nketiah's injury. He explained that the 25-year-old has been playing out of position to accommodate another player, and this may have contributed to his struggles. Additionally, Nketiah was reportedly injured during a private training session with a performance specialist, which has raised some concerns within the team.
But Glasner has taken responsibility for Nketiah's injury, admitting that he should have substituted him earlier in their previous game against Wolves. He also praised Nketiah's determination and contribution to the team, despite feeling discomfort in his hamstring during the match. The coach trusts his players and sees no reason to doubt their honesty about the injury.
Unfortunately, Nketiah is just one of many players on Palace's injury list. Star midfielder Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton, and Jefferson Lerma are all currently sidelined, but may return after the international break. In addition, Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca are dealing with long-term injuries, while midfielder Will Hughes is suspended for the upcoming match against Fulham.
Despite these challenges, Palace remains unbeaten in their last three games and is hoping to continue this momentum. They currently sit 17th in the Premier League table and are determined to climb higher. Glasner and his team are working hard to prevent future injuries and are looking forward to the return of their sidelined players.
