Wharton was expedited into Gareth Southgate’s 2024 UEFA European Championship squad last summer.

Nketiah signed for Palace in August in a £30million deal from the Gunners.

Wharton has had his minutes managed since having surgery and only made his first start on Tuesday despite being back for the last three Premier League outings.

Since joining the Eagles at the start of the 2023-24 season, the Brazilian has had a variety of injuries which have kept him out of action.

Villa return to Selhurst Park on Tuesday night for the first time since that loss, but Glasner was quick to play down any thoughts of a repeat.

Although if the Eagles beat Millwall in the last 16 of the FA Cup this Saturday at Selhurst Park, they will move into the quarter-finals, scheduled for Saturday 29 March.

The victory in west London also saw the team from SE25 win four consecutive away games in the top-flight for the first time ever, and all of them without conceding a goal – four 2-0 wins in a row.

The England international has been eased back into action this month, making three appearances from the bench in the league – including nine minutes in the 2-0 win at Fulham on Saturday – and one start in the FA Cup following groin surgery in November.
