Crystal Palace and potential England boost ahead of Euro 2024 as defender returns for Manchester United clash

MARC Guehi is set to return to Crystal Palace’s squad for their Premier League clash with Manchester United at Selhurst Park on Monday. 

Attacker Eberechi Eze has also trained after missing last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Fulham with a knee injury. 

Guehi injured his knee in the 4-1 defeat at Brighton on February 3 and needed surgery. 

“It’s very positive news, both of them are fit,” Glasner said in his pre-match press conference on Friday. “Both trained. The players were off after Sunday and we started yesterday preparing them for the Man United game.

“Both trained yesterday in the full session and again today, so it looks good. If everything continues as we expect, both will be in the squad.”

Guehi has potentially three club games left this season to prove his fitness and force his way into Gareth Southgate’s squad for Euro 2024. 

“He worked very hard in rehab,” Glasner said. “It took maybe one or two weeks longer than we all hoped, but he has such a great working attitude.

“It’s always good when the players are back, and especially when a captain is back, so we’re really looking forward to the last three games. Hopefully everything is fine with him and he can play a lot of minutes.

“I see his working attitude, he’s outstanding. He’s got a lot of quality but he is also very professional, hard-working, always wanting to improve.

“He is getting back to the team now with rehab. He is a fantastic player and we will support him as well as we can.

“We hope he plays some good games for us, and also for England in the Euros.”
