Crystal Palace lost 2-0 to Everton in their Premier League match last week. Despite a strong first half, the team could not capitalize on opportunities. Center-back Chadi Riad sustained what appears to be a serious knee injury after being stretchered off. Reports have surfaced that Ismaila Sarr did not travel to Merseyside due to a knock and is pushing for a move to Galatasaray. Jean-Philipe Mateta is contesting the validity of his contract in an ongoing dispute with the club, taking the matter to FIFA.
