Nearing training return
Nketiah (undisclosed) could return to training Wednesday or Thursday after being forced off at halftime of Saturday's 3-2 win over Fulham, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Nketiah will be able to train maybe tomorrow or after tomorrow."
Analysis: Nketiah's injury appears to be relatively minor after he was unable to continue against Fulham, where he recorded his first assist of the season before being withdrawn at halftime. His potential return to training this week gives him a chance of being involved against Ipswich on Saturday, though Jorgen Strand Larsen has strengthened his claim for the starting striker role by scoring twice against Middlesbrough. Nketiah had started each of Palace's first three league matches, so the competition for minutes up front could increase once he is fully available.
Assists, subbed off at half
Nketiah assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Fulham. He was injured and subbed out in the 46th minute.
Analysis: Nketiah recorded his first goal involvement of the season with an assist, adding a key pass and a shot on target. However, he was subbed off at halftime with a suspected injury concern. Despite starting all three opening matches, he hasn't played past the 70th minute, totaling four key passes, two shots on target, and four tackles won, steady involvement while Ismaila Sarr remains sidelined.
