Crystal Palace vs Liverpool - Crystal Palace trio set for late fitness tests ahead of Liverpool clash
Posted Friday, March 30, 2018 by PA
Crystal Palace will give late fitness tests to Wilfried Zaha, Alexander Sorloth and James Tomkins before Saturday’s home game against Liverpool.
Zaha was unable to train during the international break because of a knee problem, while Sorloth is recovering from a hamstring injury and Tomkins from a calf issue. Doubts also persist around Mamadou Sakho (also calf).
Jeffrey Schlupp (ankle) also misses out, while Joel Ward, Scott Dann, Jason Puncheon, Bakary Sako and Connor Wickham – who this week suffered a minor groin injury – remain long-term absentees.
Liverpool will be without Emre Can and Joe Gomez for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.
Full-back Gomez faces three to four weeks on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury on England duty while Can is still battling the back problem that ruled him out of representing Germany.
But Nathaniel Clyne is included in the squad for the first time all season after his own serious back issues and left-back Andy Robertson has recovered from the dead leg he sustained playing for Scotland.
