Oliver Glasner reveals why Crystal Palace contract talks are on hold amid links with rivals

  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that talks regarding a potential new contract have been delayed due to the club's demanding fixture schedule.
  • Glasner's current deal is set to expire this summer, leading to ongoing speculation about his future and links to other Premier League clubs.
  • He stated that the packed schedule prevents detailed discussions with chairman Steve Parish, and he views the speculation as no distraction.
  • Glasner intends to use completely different starting line-ups for the Thursday’s Conference League match against KuPS and the Premier League game against Leeds on Saturday, citing only 16 available senior players.
  • The team faces an injury blow as attacking midfielder Daichi Kamada is expected to be sidelined for at least eight to ten weeks with a hamstring issue.
