Crystal Palace and Leeds injury latest as key players return and doubts remain | OneFootball

Leeds United visit Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Sunday with a clearer injury picture, while Crystal Palace weigh late checks. Several key players are back for both sides.

Palace face AEK Larnaca in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, having had last weekend off after exiting the FA Cup. Leeds enjoyed a free midweek following their 3-0 FA Cup fifth-round win over Norwich City on Sunday.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed the Norwich tie with a knee issue, says he was resting by design. “Everything’s good. It was always the plan for me to take a little break of a few days after the double gameweek that we’ve just had in the Premier League. So yeah, everything’s going to plan, back in training tomorrow and ready to go,” he told CBS Sports.

For Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta has returned to training and is in contention, although Oliver Glasner does not see him as a 90-minute option yet. Maxence Lacroix is available again after serving a one-match ban.

Jefferson Lerma is also fit to return after a hamstring problem, having been an unused substitute at Tottenham. Eddie Nketiah remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is not expected back until next month.

There is concern over Daniel Muñoz, who suffered a shoulder injury early against Spurs. Glasner said the wing-back is working with medical staff in an effort to be ready for Leeds.
