Crystal Palace star suffers late training injury ahead of Fiorentina clash | OneFootball

Eddie Nketiah will miss Crystal Palace’s Conference League quarter-final first leg clash with Fiorentina after suffering a hamstring injury in training.

The Palace striker sustained the injury before the end of Wednesday’s session, boss Oliver Glasner revealed.

“It’s how football is, because it looked like everybody was available for tomorrow’s until two minutes before the end of the session [today],” he explained.

“Eddie unfortunately injured his hamstring again and had to leave the pitch two minutes before the end of the game. He won’t make tomorrow’s squad. He will have a scan again, but it doesn’t really look good for him.

“All the others are available. We had, on Sunday, 23 on-field players for the first time since the start of this season – but it is how it is.

“He was very disappointed and we are. The worst thing for a player is when you don’t play, when you don’t start, but when you are injured and have setbacks, that makes it very tough for Eddie.

“He will have all our support to come back hopefully before the end of the season, but we will see tomorrow.”

In a boost for Palace, midfielder Adam Wharton is available, however.
