Oliver Glasner provides Crystal Palace team news ahead of Millwall – defender passed fit for South London clash

Oliver Glasner has passed Marc Guehi fit for Crystal Palace’s fifth round FA Cup clash against Millwall on Saturday.

The England defender complained about pain in his knee after Palace’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, but is ready to start against the Lions in an all-South London cup clash.

Glasner also confirmed that attacker Matheus Franca will replace defender Caleb Kporha on the bench.

“All players are fit and available again,” said Glasner.

“[Marc Guéhi] is okay [after the win over Aston Villa on Tuesday]. It helped that we had one more day between these two games.

“The only change in the squad is Matheus França will be in the squad, and Caleb Kporha won’t be, but all others are ready.

“Everybody it’s possible [to play]. It’s the round of the last 16 and we will play with the best available team, with who’s ready and fit, and these players will play. It’s not about giving someone a gift – ‘now you get some minutes because it’s an FA Cup game’ – this is disrespectful to Millwall.

“They can expect that we play with our best team, because this is what they deserve. They won at Leeds [in the fourth round], so that shows that they are able to win away against a good team, and so we have to be very focused and concentrated.”
