The main worry with Selhurst Park is Hodgson’s health; he was ill following a training session last Thursday and is currently recuperating.Journalist Sami Mokbel gave the Eagles a good report on the manager and the health of his team via The Daily Mail, following a trying week for the team due to the 76-year-old’s health. In his opening remarks, Mokbel reassured supporters about Hodgson’s condition, saying that the seasoned coach is “feeling better now.”It’s widely believed that Hodgson’s tenure as the team’s manager will end with tonight’s match against Everton; Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Glasner will make his announcement this week. The Daily Mail revealed further encouraging news regarding the boss’s health, as the Eagles are getting closer to having two important players well and prepared for action.
Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi are reportedly “close to returns,” which will be a huge boost for the residents of south London.
The absence of Guehi because to a knee injury and Eze and Michael Olise because of hamstring ailments respectively hurt Palace’s recent performance, as the three players were crucial to the team’s success.
After Olise is ready to enter the field, Glasner might have two important players available while Olise is still sidelined owing to a return of his hamstring problems.
Every time Eze takes the field for the Eagles, his influence is evident, most demonstrated by his inventiveness, which frequently separates Hodgson’s starting lineup.
To the amazement of his teammates, the Englishman averages an incredible 2.1 critical passes per game in the Premier League this season, more than any other Crystal Palace player, according to WhoScored.
According to Sky Sports, Guehi and Joachim Andersen, Palace’s central defense duo, are largely responsible for the team’s success.
The Eagles have a win rate of 31.7% in 83 games when both players are available thanks to 26 victories; this number sharply drops when one of the two is not present.
When the synergy in central defense is broken, the team’s win percentage worrisomely plummets to just 12.5%, with only two victories in 16 games.
