Had you informed Oliver Glasner in May that the 2024–25 season would begin with a single victory in 11 games, he might have scoffed at you. This is precisely what has occurred to Crystal Palace, though, as the South London team currently sits an alarming 18th in the Premier League.
The draw with Wolves and the loss to Fulham were made even more disheartening by the surprising victory over Tottenham.
Glasner must make significant adjustments before a challenging stretch of games because the Eagles’ odds of relegation have been increasing. The manager of the Eagles may now get a threefold boost.
The injury issue hasn’t helped, but Crystal Palace’s problems are perhaps exaggerated given the extremely narrow margins. Glasner should therefore expect better outcomes now that the players are back.
According to London World, Glasner might benefit from three players making a comeback from injuries.
Jefferson Lerma would be a nice midfield return, and Eberechi Eze is anticipated to be one of the returning players. After missing months of action, Glasner may finally have promising defender Chadi Riad back.
