Oliver Glasner, President of Crystal Palace, Emprechi Eze and Marc Guehi will start in the European Conference League Qualifiers against Friedrichsad on Thursday.
Both players have been greatly linked to a distance from SELHRST Park, where reports are going to the point of signal Eze’s transfer to Tottenham almost.
Meanwhile, Guehi has been lined up for a transfer to Liverpool. However, this deal appears less advanced than his colleague’s transformation to northern London.
Despite speculation, Glasner once again confirmed that both will play the next match in the eagles, as they look forward to qualifying for the league stage of the European competition after losing his place in the European League against Nottingham Forest.
Speaking at his press conference before the match, Glasner said: “The player (EZE) gives 100 % because it is under the contract. We do not have to say thank you every day, he gets a few pounds every week.
“Many of you were surprised that he started and Mark against Chelsea, and he was surprised that they started tomorrow, but they are committed to the team.
“They will play an important role as long as they are here committed to the team. If they leave, they want to leave as men giving 100 % to Crystal Palace.”
Guehi’s Snub
Guehi also occupied the headlines on Sunday after it seemed to refuse to recognize the Glasner Post-Match after the Palace 0-0 tied with Chelsea.
It is not surprising, causing many rumors, but the main coach has made clear the situation.
He added: “There was a lot of written nonsense. I did not meet many colleagues more ambitious than me – Mark is one of them, and he was upset on Sunday.
“He was emotional after this game, exhausted. He was disappointed that the goal was rejected, and we did not win. He wrote in a negative way, I saw it the opposite.
“This indicates the development of the Crystal Palace in the past few years, that we are not happy with a draw in Chelsea.”
European dream
Palace sympathized with most of the football world after losing their place in the European League in the period 2025-26.
After qualifying to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final for the last season, the European Federation has reduced the club club to the third layer due to multi-divorce royal rules, with the shareholder John Tintoor also a share in Lyon-also in the European League.
The palace appealed the decision, but it did not succeed. Now, they will play in the third layer, where they are one of the candidates to win the competition.
“We should not talk about it anymore, we cannot change it. This is the last time I will respond to this question,” Glasner added.
“We deserve to play the European League, we are the FA Cup. But, it is decided that we will reduce our rank, so we will prepare.
“This is the first time that the euro football has been played in SELHUST, this is our reward for winning the FA Cup and we will enjoy it. Many fans have not expected to play European football, so this is our approach.
“It is important to remain modest, and the first goal is to qualify for the group stage. It is our first time in this competition, like every competition we want to go to and win. If we can do this, I don’t know.
“I was in Wolfsburg, we lost in the European League qualifiers against Aek ATHENS. So we always want to qualify, this is the goal. The final is very far.”
