Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner confirmed Jefferson Lerma is out with concussion and Nathaniel Clyne with an adductor issue."Chris Richards is back, he will not be able to start but he was confident so he will be available on the bench tomorrow," he added.
Mings and Torres both fit apparently
“We’re training now, after the press conference,” said Unai Emery, previewing Wednesday’s trip to Selhurst Park.“We’ll see how they are doing, the players, after the match we played on Saturday.“Tyrone and Pau are close but we are going to train now, I don’t know if for tomorrow they’ll be available or not.“And other players – no Barkley, no Guessand, no Amadou.“But we have enough players; after training we’re going to decide if someone is close, like Pau and Tyrone Mings.”

Maybe fit is probably closer.Quote“We’re training now, after the press conference,” said Unai Emery, previewing Wednesday’s trip to Selhurst Park.“We’ll see how they are doing, the players, after the match we played on Saturday.“Tyrone and Pau are close but we are going to train now, I don’t know if for tomorrow they’ll be available or not.“And other players – no Barkley, no Guessand, no Amadou.“But we have enough players; after training we’re going to decide if someone is close, like Pau and Tyrone Mings.”
Quote from: DB on January 05, 2026, 10:03:37 PMThey have a few players out don’t they?Most of them.Sarr is still at AFCON, Munoz, Kamada, Doucoure are all definitely injured and Richards, Clyne and Lerma are all doubtful. A slip on the ice on the way to the ground for Guehi, Mateta and Wharton and I might start feeling confident.
They have a few players out don’t they?
Oliver Glasner: ‘Jefferson Lerma is out due to concussion protocol and returns against Sunderland. Nathaniel Clyne will return for Chelsea. Chris Richards is back, not able to start but will be on the bench.’

On Villa’s strengths…There's consistency in their team, as you said, and I spoke about it. I think consistency in the squad is crucial for being successful.We watched the semi-final of the FA Cup back, and then we went through it. We expect tomorrow [Victor] Lindelof [to play instead of] Pau Torres, and maybe Emiliano Buendia for Marco Asensio – all others should be or will be the same. And that shows that, first of all, Unai Emery is doing an incredible job there, and they are always progressing.But their group is together now for many, many months and playing in the same system. They've been doing really well. I think also the data shows they are very, very efficient in scoring goals, with many goals from outside the box.They have the confidence now. At the beginning, I think they didn't score for the first four games, and now it looks like whenever they shoot, they score. This is part of the confidence they have right now, and this is what we will face tomorrow.But the structure, the way they are playing, is very similar. Again, it's the same group, it's the same manager, doing an incredible job there.
