Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glaston provided an injury update during his pre-match press conference, confirming that Cheikhou Doucouré has returned to training and is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Ipswich, while Sarr will remain sidelined.

Doucouré had been out for an extended period and was scheduled to return in the 3-0 League Cup victory over Middlesbrough, but his comeback was delayed due to illness. The midfielder has now trained for two consecutive days, and Crystal Palace will conduct a final assessment of his fitness following Friday's training session.

Glaston said: "Cheikhou trained yesterday and this morning, and he'll be fine. He was a bit under the weather beforehand, but he's good now."

"We need to review tomorrow because the team played without a break on Saturday and Tuesday night, so we need to assess fatigue levels. Everything went well today, but the picture will be clearer tomorrow. Until then, we can't give a definitive team sheet."

In contrast, Sarr's recovery is progressing more slowly. He will miss the Ipswich match and has not yet returned to first-team training.

Glaston said: "The situation remains the same; he hasn't trained with the team yet. I initially thought he might train on Monday, but that didn't happen. We're hoping he'll return to first-team training next week. We're keen to get him back on the pitch as soon as possible."
