Crystal Palace vs West Ham injuries, are Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix set to play?

Crystal Palace take on West Ham in the Premier League tonight after holding off a Fiorentina fightback to confirm their place in the semi-finals of the Conference League. After their 4-2 aggregate victory over Fiorentina, Crystal Palace now face Shakhtar Donetsk in the semi-finals.

After they secured their place in the semi-finals, Oliver Glasner said: “We expected Fiorentina to try everything and that's what they did.

“It was a great start into the game by us, a big chance after two minutes to take the lead. But then we got a little bit passive, Fiorentina got the penalty, they got the belief back.

“It was very difficult to manage today, not just for me but for the players, making two substitutions before half-time. That means we lost two windows for subs, that's why we took off JP Mateta at half-time – because we knew that he can't play the full game and we needed another window to be flexible in the second half.

“To be honest, their second goal was too early, a great finish from outside the box. But then credit to the players for how they coped with the situation.

“I think we didn't really play well in the attack, but we defended very well. And also we had to make two subs: a very important one central defender in Maxence Lacroix and Adam Wharton, a very important midfielder.

“All the players who came on did so well. As a team I think we defended very well and didn't give them a big chance after they took the lead, and over the two legs I think we deserved to qualify for the semi-finals.

However, unfortunately for Crystal Palace, Adam Wharton and Maxence Lacroix went off with first-half injuries. Oliver Glasner told TNT Sports that “Adam is an abductor [injury], like when he had to leave the England camp. Let's see, it doesn't look so serious but we have to assess him further.

“Maxence was foot to foot contact and then he felt his knee, the medial ligament so let's see but it is painful.”

“Unfortunately we play in four days again but credit to the players that came in. Today we are celebrating going to the semi-finals, it is a massive achievement for the players and for Crystal Palace and we are enjoying tonight.”
