Crystal Palace are still on the hunt for their first league victory of the season as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest on Monday night. However, there is some positive news for the team as midfielder Cheick Doucoure has returned to training and is expected to play a role in the upcoming match. Doucoure, who made an impact in his last appearance against Chelsea, has been sidelined with a foot injury for the past two games.
His comeback will be a much-needed boost for manager Oliver Glasner, who is facing pressure to improve results and secure that elusive first win of the season. With Doucoure back in the mix, Palace will have a stronger lineup against Nottingham Forest on Monday night.
In addition to Doucoure’s return, right-back Daniel Munoz has also resumed training after recovering from an injury sustained in the loss to Liverpool. These two players coming back into contention will provide Glasner with more options and potentially lead to a more cohesive tactical setup for the team.
Palace’s struggles this season contrast with their impressive finish last year, where they secured a top-half finish in the league. Despite losing key players in the transfer window, including Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen, the team is aiming to bounce back and climb up the table starting with the match at the City Ground.
Currently sitting in 18th place with just three points from seven games, Palace will be looking to kickstart their season and turn their fortunes around. With the return of Doucoure and Munoz, there is renewed hope that the team can secure their first league win sooner rather than later.
