Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner delivers an injury update on Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, and addresses the rumours linking both players with an exit in the summer transfer window.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has delivered an injury update on star duo Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Eagles secured their third successive top-flight win on Wednesday when they beat Newcastle United 2-0 at Selhurst Park, courtesy of two goals from in-form striker Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Palace's victory took place just three days after they thrashed West Ham United 5-2 on home soil in a game both Eze and Olise got their names on the scoresheet.

Olise has been hampered with injuries throughout this season and has been reduced to just 15 Premier League appearances, although he has still made an impact when fit, contributing with seven goals and four assists.

The 22-year-old was notably left out of the starting lineup against Newcastle, while Eze - another standout performer for Palace this season - was taken off in the second half.

Eze doubtful, Olise ready to start

Speaking at a press conference on Friday ahead of Saturday's trip to Fulham, Glanser has revealed that Eze is doubtful with a knee injury.

"Ebere Eze is questionable for tomorrow – he has a problem with his knee," said the Austrian. "We will decide tomorrow if it makes sense that he plays.

"Everyone else is fit - nobody new is back but just this one [new issue]. It was a match injury, we didn't really train for two days now, we were just doing recovery. He was knocked down many times in the [Newcastle] game so we will see."

On a positive note, Glasner has confirmed that Olise is fit to start at Craven Cottage and has explained his decision to bench the winger against Newcastle in midweek.

"It was a decision we talked about before the Newcastle game," said Glasner. "He would have been fit to start before the Newcastle game, but we spoke and then we decided together that it makes sense to give him fewer minutes against Newcastle and have him fit against Fulham.

"Everything worked and the most important thing is that we got the three points."

Glasner addresses Eze, Olise transfer speculation

Both Eze and Olise have been linked with a number of top Premier League clubs in recent months, with Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United all said to be interested in their services.

A recent report claims that Palace will not entertain offers below £60m for the attacking duo in this summer's transfer window.

"We think [Eze and Olise] will play for Crystal Palace next season," Glasner said, as quoted by South London Press reporter Edmund Brack, when responding to those reports.

"They are two fantastic football players and two great characters - this is important for me.

"There is nothing for me to discuss. If someone is worth £60m, £50m or £2m, I don't know - this is the business world and I am a manager.

"For me, it's important whether they can help the team win games. The answer is yes. I have been in a football for a long time and no team in the world can say on April 26 how the squad will look next season.

"We don't know, but we think they will be at Crystal Palace next season."

Both Eze and Olise are under contract at Selhurst Park until the summer of 2027.
