The Blues head to Selhurst Park looking to build on the midweek Champions League victory over Pafos, with Rosenior hoping to secure another three points that could push us back into the top four of the Premier League.

Palmer missed the win over Pafos, with Rosenior saying he felt some ‘tightness in his thigh’, while Gittens and Estevao were both used from the bench having previously been unwell. Enzo had also been suffering with illness but came through the majority of the game in midweek.

The head coach confirmed the trio all trained this week and will be fit to face the Eagles, although Filip Jorgensen will miss out after having a scan on the injury he suffered against Pafos.

‘In terms of sickness, the players hit by that are gradually coming back to full health,’ Rosenior explained at his pre-match press conference.

‘We’ve had to be very careful with that because Estevao was very ill, Jamie Gittens was very ill, and it altered our plans over the week in terms of what we wanted to do. Thankfully the lads have come through that, and so has Enzo as well.

‘Cole is in a good place. He joined in training today, which is really positive and we will assess his reaction to training after the session.

‘Jorgensen has had his scan, and it was actually quite positive and not as bad as we first feared. He won’t be available for Palace this weekend, but he could potentially be okay for Napoli. Other than that, all is good.’

Rosenior also confirmed Dario Essugo is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up an unfortunate injury in training recently, but said Romeo Lavia is progressing well in his recovery from injury. The midfielder is unlikely to feature at Selhurst Park, however.

‘Dario has picked up a really unfortunate injury,’ our head coach confirmed. ‘He slipped in training and he’s going to be out for a while.

‘We expect him to be out for over a month, which is a real shame because he’s an outstanding player.

‘Romeo is on the way back, which is great because he’s a very good, outstanding player at a very high level.

‘I want him back as quickly as possible, of course, but I want him back with no more injuries. We don’t want to force him, we want him back where he can get into a flow of repetitive game time.’
