Crystal Palace handed debuts to new signings Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta in today’s Premier League opener against Chelsea.
Joachim Andersen has not featured in pre-season since his £17milliom move from Lyon but he has trained this week and is on the bench at Stamford Bridge.
Captain Luka Milivojevic misses the game against Chelsea due to personal reasons, however.
New signing Michael Olise is out with a back problem, while Eberechi Eze is recovering from the serious Achilles injury he sustained at the end of last season.
