OLIVER Glasner is hoping defender Marc Guehi can return to face Manchester United next month.
Guess has been out since February after knee surgery.
The Eagles face Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and Glasner gave an update ahead of the game.
“I can’t say when [Guehi will return], but he’s working hard, we’re working hard, and of course we give our best,” Glasner said.
“It’s a week where we have three games, so maybe it’s the week after, but we hope, at latest, against Manchester United.
“We have no new injuries, but Jairo [Riedewald] is coming back. He trained the whole week with us and he could be in the squad on Sunday.
“You always have to be careful because if a player is out for five, six or seven weeks, and it’s not like he can have one week’s training and play 90 minutes. He will have to find his rhythm, like all the other injured players.
“It’s good that at the end of the season we’re getting options back. We also hope that next week, or in the next two weeks, one, two, three players are coming back.”
Palace are just five points above the relegation zone.
Glasner said: “It’s up to us to get the points that we need.
“I don’t know how many it will be – [if it] should be six, should be nine, should be five – I don’t know, but it’s up to us to get these points we need.
“And if we don’t get one point until the end of the season and 30 points means relegation, then it’s our fault. We can’t blame anybody else. That’s why I don’t think about it. I think, ‘what does it need so that we get the points, that we win games?’”
Glasner also gave an update on Michael Olise.
He said: “He’s closer [to starting] than the week before. He had the whole week training with us.
“It’s been a really good week and Michael was part of it, so he’s close to starting.
“I think Michael can’t win the game alone, but he has a big role, and all the others have a big role.
“We’ll need a great goalkeeper because Liverpool are a very attacking team, so everybody has a key role and we will show it again that we are competitive as a team.”
