Birthday boy Eddie Howe has been talking to the media this morning, providing an replace on the damage entrance forward of tomorrow’s journey to Selhurst Park.
The large questions got here on Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock’s health after each had been compelled off in Monday’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham, and Howe supplied a comparatively optimistic replace on each.
Requested in the event that they’ll make the sport at Crystal Palace, Howe mentioned: “They’ve an opportunity to play, not severe accidents so we’ll decide as we speak.”
Bruno has a glute downside and was not pictured in coaching on Wednesday, whereas Willock took a whack to his leg within the first half, forcing him to get replaced by Harvey Barnes on the break. It’s reassuring to listen to neither is severe, so hopefully each can come via classes as we speak.
The boss additionally confirmed that Callum Wilson has come via coaching this week and never had any dangerous response to his first look all season on Monday.
Elsewhere, Dan Burn will return from a one-game ban and virtually definitely substitute Lloyd Kelly at centre-back, however we’ll be with out Emil Krafth, Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles as soon as once more.
It stays to be seen if Lewis Miley will return to the squad after he missed out on Monday, with Howe revealing this morning that the midfielder is about to begin for the U21s tonight. Studying between the traces, the very fact Miley appears to be like set to play for our U21s suggests Bruno and Willock ought to be OK, as I doubt he’d be enjoying the day earlier than Palace if he was wanted in tomorrow’s squad.
