Crystal Palace and Leeds United injuries, 3 out and 3 doubts, plus Calvert-Lewin & Rodon updates
Leeds United visit Crystal Palace on Sunday at 2pm, with an early injury picture showing three out and three doubts, plus two returning and a minor question mark. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, both camps have significant fitness calls.
Palace face AEK Larnaca in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, their first game in a week after a free weekend. They last played in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur last Thursday.
Leeds have six days without a match after Sunday’s 3-0 FA Cup fifth round win over Norwich City.
Palace expect a boost, with Maxence Lacroix back from a one-game ban following his red card at Manchester United. Jefferson Lerma is also available after returning to the bench at Spurs.
Eddie Nketiah remains out with a hamstring injury sustained in late December and is not expected back until next month. Jean-Philippe Mateta has been sidelined with a knee issue since January, pencilled in for partial training this week with a view to bench involvement and availability for AEK Larnaca and Leeds, with caution.
For Leeds, Noah Okafor is out as it stands after a hamstring problem in the FA Cup tie at Birmingham City, with no updated timeframe given on Friday.
A doubt for Palace is Daniel Munoz, who suffered a shoulder injury at Spurs and departed after 14 minutes. His arm was placed in a brace for further assessment, and while it did not initially feel severe, shoulder problems can be tricky.
