Crystal Palace kicked off the Oliver Glasner era with a win on Saturday and now the Austrian has been handed a massive boost.
Saturday saw Crystal Palace demolish Burnley 3-0 to ensure that the new era was kicked off on the right foot for Oliver Glasner.
Three goals perfectly resembled just how dominant the Eagles were against an admittedly poor Burnley side.
Goals from the magnificent Chris Richards, the on-fire Jordan Ayew and then lastly Jean-Philippe Mateta secured the three points.
Now attention has undoubtedly turned toward facing Spurs this coming weekend, and ahead of the game, Glasner has been handed a massive boost.
Oliver Glasner handed huge boost ahead of Spurs
So ahead of a tricky test which will be against Ange Postecoglou, Glasner will be looking for all the boosts he can get, and he’s just received that.
According to journalist Edmund Brack, Palace are set to welcome Eberechi Eze back into the matchday squad this weekend as he continues to build up his fitness.
The return of Eze will be something Glasner will undoubtedly be excited by as he’s – apart from Michael Olise – probably the best player at the club.
Of course, many became very excited at the prospect of Eze’s return to action under Glasner since the two were seen meeting in last week’s video the club released.
While this is a boost, it isn’t as big of a boost as it could have been with a negative also coming out.
Marc Guehi won’t be fit for this weekend for Crystal Palace
While there is still time for this to change, Palace don’t expect Marc Guehi to return for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This however is described as ‘early indications’ which could leave the door open for him depending on how the remainder of this week goes.
But the fact it’s up in the air is encouraging for the following games with a potentially full-strength team besides Olise.
