Eberechi Eze transfer update after Crystal Palace star's emotional end against Chelsea
England international playmaker Eberechi Eze continues to be linked with a summer move away from Crystal Palace and the Eagles' manager has now issued an update Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner expects to be able to call on Eberechi Eze for the Eagles' Conference League clash against Fredrikstad on Thursday. The England international has been in high demand this summer, with Arsenal and Tottenham both linked, but Glasner has continued to give him minutes as usual. Eze got the best part of 85 minutes on Sunday as Palace held Chelsea to a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. He turned towards the visiting support as they warmly applauded him of the pitch, prompting some to speculate about whether it might have been his final appearance in Palace colours. Glasner showed no signs of being ready to say goodbye, though. Eze and team-mate Marc Guehi could both yet depart, but the boss is not looking at things that way. "The 15, 16 players who had the most minutes last year are still here," he told Sky Sports. "There are a lot of rumours about Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi but they were 100 per cent with this group in Crystal Palace and they have proved that in a big way. "Eb should have scored a goal today, he had one and it was disallowed. He will come tomorrow to the Crystal Palace training ground, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday and I expect him to be back playing for us against Fredrikstad." The disallowed goal to which Glasner refers came early in the game. Eze thought he had fired Palace in front with a free-kick, only for Guehi to have stayed too close to the Chelsea wall. 'After review, away number six is less than one metre away from the wall as the shot is taken," the Premier League Match Centre account posted on social media. "Therefore, it's an indirect free kick and a disallowed goal'. Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez felt the decision to disallow the goal was correct. "Moises [Caicedo] gets pushed into the gap and that's why I couldn't see at all and the ball goes over my head so that's why it has to be a foul, 100%," he said. Sanchez also gave credit to Palace's midfield for keeping the Club World Cup winners at bay. "We had two weeks of a quick pre-season and we got some injuries but the boys showed up and we kept the clean sheet," the Spanish internatipnal said. "We have quality on the ball. It was hard to find Moises and Enzo [Fernandez] with the ball because Crystal Palace were holding a lot in midfield and with the dry pitch as well."
