Crystal Palace defender Gary Cahill could miss Leicester clash

Posted Sunday, December 27, 2020 by PA

Crystal Palace could again be without defender Gary Cahill for Monday’s Premier League clash with Leicester.

Cahill missed Saturday’s defeat at Aston Villa with a hamstring injury and may not have recovered in time. Manager Roy Hodgson is expected to freshen up his side with such a quick turnaround.

Wayne Hennessey (thigh), Nathan Ferguson (knee), Martin Kelly, Mamadou Sakho (both calf) and Connor Wickham (thigh) all remain sidelined.

Defender Caglar Soyuncu will make the trip to Selhurst Park with the Foxes.

The centre-back has been sidelined with a groin problem but boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed he is now available.

Cengiz Under missed Boxing Day’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United with a tight hamstring and will be assessed while Ricardo Pereira (groin) is out.

Crystal Palace provisional squad: Guaita, Butland, Van Aanholt, Clyne, Ward, Tomkins, Dann, Mitchell, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Schlupp, Riedewald, McArthur, McCarthy, Townsend, Eze, Ayew, Zaha, Benteke, Batshuayi.

Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Justin, Fofana, Evans, Morgan, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Castagne, Thomas, Gray, Tielemans, Amartey, Ndidi, Choudhury, Praet, Maddison, Albrighton, Mendy, Under, Barnes, Vardy, Iheanacho, Slimani, Perez.
