Oliver Glasner confirms another Crystal Palace injury blow | OneFootball

Crystal Palace midfielder Daichi Kamada is set for at least two months out with a hamstring injury in another blow for Oliver Glasner.

The Japanese international was forced off in the defeat to Manchester City and is now set for a spell out.

“It is how it looked when he walked off the pitch,” Palace boss Glasner said. “It’s a serious hamstring injury, and he will be out for at least eight to 10 weeks.

“It doesn’t affect the thinking in tomorrow’s game. He won’t be back, and our focus is completely on the three games within five days, starting with KuPS and then going to Leeds and playing at the Emirates. Then we have a bit of time, and then we play Tottenham at home before 2025 ends, so no, it doesn’t affect the next couple of days.

“It’s not what we want, but on the other side, it’s part of football, it’s part of sports when you play so many games that things can happen. It’s not a normal muscle injury, it was just an incident with his landing and body position, he overstretched everything, the full weight on the front, and that’s why it happens.

“He usually never has muscle injuries. But unfortunately it’s part of our game.”

Palace face KuPS Kuopio in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.

Glasner is also without Daniel Munoz, Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad.
