Team news, injury update as Glasner likens Eagles to F1 car

New signing Trevoh Chalobah will miss Crystal Palace vs Leicester with an injury he picked up during his first training session with the club, Eagles manager Oliver Glasner has said.

Former England Under-21 international Chalobah moved to Palace on a season-long loan from Chelsea on transfer deadline day but is not in contention to accompany new £15.2 million arrival Maxence Lacroix at the back when the Foxes visit Selhurst Park on Saturday (3pm BST).

Forward Eddie Nketiah, who cost £30m from Arsenal, is in contention to make his debut, as is on-loan Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner.

Palace transfers: Glasner ‘pleased’

Palace picked up their first point of the season at the third attempt in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea on September 1 and Glasner has told his players their return to action after the international break is “like a restart”.

“When you have a Formula One car and you have to change one tyre – it’s the same in our squad,” he said. “We have had 30 to 40% changes in our squad.

“This means we…
