Late news
Oliver Glassner’s trotted out the exact XI we expected and it looks pretty strong; only Jørgen Strand Larsen (suspended) misses out among the regular starters. Paolo Vanoli, on the other hand, is scrambling. Moise Kean’s injury has flared up again and he hasn’t even made the trip. Manor Solomon, Fabiano Parisi, and Niccolò Fortini are also out injured. Dodô and Rolando Mandragora both return from health-related layoffs of their own, so keep an eye on their fitness. Of interest is that the mister’s
picked David de Gea in goal rather than Oliver Christensen. Maybe he’s hoping that the ex-Manchester United keeper will cope better with an English atmosphere.
You know who’s enjoying the English atmosphere? The large contingent of Viola fans who’ve crossed the channel and will make themselves heard despite the capacity crowd expected at Selhurst Park.
