Pierre Sage drops Jaydee Canvot from Crystal Palace squad after loss

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage omitted defender Jaydee Canvot from the squad for the 3-2 defeat against Ipswich. Sage cited the player's performance during a match against Fulham and his training intensity throughout the week as the primary reasons for the decision. The manager stated the move was a sporting decision intended to maintain team standards rather than an act of authority. Sage confirmed he spoke with the player to clarify the expectations for his long-term development. The Crystal Palace boss emphasized that he requires all squad members to be fully fit and mentally prepared for match play. Canvot is expected to demonstrate a positive reaction in training to compete for a spot in future lineups.
