EBERECHI Eze, Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr are available for Crystal Palace’s Premier League clash against Everton at Selhurst Park on Saturday. 

Midfielder Adam Wharton is also in line to make this first league start since last October. Wharton played 62 minutes on his second appearance since October in the Eagles’ 2-0 win at Doncaster Rovers in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Monday. 

“It was surprising he could play 60 minutes,” boss Oliver Glasner admitted. “Even then he said, ‘oh, come on, I’d like to play more’. 

“He felt really well. He did well. He trained the whole week – no reaction on the load – and he’s had a good week again. 

“I think he’s ready and now, with the other players back, it’s maybe tough – but it’s the best situation you can have as manager.

“We have him, Will Hughes and Jeff Lerma available in midfield. We have several options with our front three, the same with our wing-backs. We have a good situation at the moment, and we want to keep this for the next three months.”
