Oliver Glasner delivers injury news ahead of Everton – Crystal Palace defender to miss out with hamstring injury but Chelsea loanee ready for debut

Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner says Chris Richards will miss tomorrow’s clash at Everton with a hamstring injury.

But Chelsea loanee Trevoh Chalobah is ready to make his first appearance for the club after recovering from an abdominal injury.

USA centre-back Richards played alongside Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi in a back three against Manchester United last time out.

The Austrian boss has also confirmed that Matheus Franca will not head to Goodison Park despite returning to full training this week after picking up a fractured rib in pre-season.

“[Franca and Chalobah] are available, but Franca won’t be in the squad after it was his first complete week with us. 

“After almost six months, it would be unfair for him to be in the squad – but he feels well and he has no problems.

“Trevoh will be win the squad, and he is available, but we lost Chris Richards this week. He is not available for the next week as he has a hamstring injury.

“The other players are available. It’s Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riad who can’t play, but the others had a good week.”
