CRYSTAL PALACE WORRY GROWS — INJURY SIDELINES MARC GUEHI AHEAD OF BIG MATCHES

Manchester Utd receive a potential boost ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace as Eagles captain Marc Guehi suffers a foot injury. The defender is on crutches and could miss the Premier League fixture at the end of November.

A crucial injury has been sustained by Crystal Palace, who will soon play Manchester United.

As Ruben Amorim's team looks back on a great few weeks that have seen the Red Devils return to European contention once more, Manchester United will have the opportunity to rest and recuperate over the international break.

Matthijs de Ligt's equaliser in the 96th minute made Manchester United leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday with a piece of the action, tying Spurs and several other teams on 18 points after 11 games. As we enter the two-week break, the Red Devils are in seventh place, two points behind Chelsea in third.

With only four points separating third and 12th place in the competition, the Premier competition is now quite close. As a result, it is crucial to get started as soon as the winter season arrives, which is frequently a season that greatly influences the direction of a campaign.

In a crucial run of games, United will next play Everton. On November 30, they will travel to Crystal Palace. The Eagles recently learned that one of their important players had sustained an injury in the last few days.

Marc Guehi is hurt before the match against Manchester United.


According to sources, Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi missed Sunday's 0-0 draw with bitter rivals Brighton & Hove Albion because of a foot injury he suffered late in Thursday night's 3-1 UEFA Conference League triumph against AZ Alkmaar. The 25-year-old suffered a personal cost by being sidelined over the weekend, despite staying on the field to see the victory.

Guehi will not play for England during the international break because he is unable to walk and is on crutches, according to manager Oliver Glasner.

The Palace manager told Sky Sports, "He had a knock on his foot." He is currently unable to walk due to the injured bone. He had been using crutches for the past few days. He was unable to play as I had hoped because of this.

"How this plays out over the next few days is unknown to me. However, it appears that he is currently unable to play for England either.

If the Eagles captain is unable to play when United visits Selhurst Park at the end of the month, this will be good news for United, who will be greatly boosted. Before it, Palace had Conference League games against Strasbourg and Wolverhampton Wanderers. With a difficult matchup between the two teams coming up, the Red Devils will hope Guehi stays out of action for the remainder of the month because he is essential to Glasner's defensive unit at the back.

After the Spurs draw, Amorim said, "We have a lot of difficulties."


Despite United's impressive recent play, which earned the Portuguese manager the Premier League Manager of the Month award for October, Amorim did not hold back at full-time after the team's draw with Spurs, saying there is still much his team has to work on.

Amorim remarked, "We have a lot of problems. "This is only the beginning. We still have a long way to go, even though the results occasionally indicate that we are getting better.

"You can split the game in the last ten minutes, when we have to substitute Harry Maguire and Casemiro simultaneously, lose [Sesko], and then give up two goals even before the second goal with a great opportunity.

"It is fantastic to play with ten men and then overcome all obstacles to score, but if you look at the remainder of the game, we were at ease. We ought to perform better, act more aggressively, and pay attention to the atmosphere in the stadium, in my opinion.

"We need to accept that anything can happen in a single play and alter the atmosphere of the stadium, and today was that. The three points were there, the space was there, and I believe we felt too at ease during the game. Although we had good control of the game, we still need to improve because it was open to us.

BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY

Tottenham Confirm Bruno Saltor as Assistant Coach Under Igor Tudor

Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.

Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.

Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.

If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.

Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.

Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.

GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW

Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.

Odds crash on Robbie Keane becoming the next Crystal Palace manager.

Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.

Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.

The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.

Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.

People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.

Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.

One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.

TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.

His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”

For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.

Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
