Ruled out with groin issue
Sarr (groin) has been ruled out of Sunday's Premier League clash against Newcastle United after experiencing renewed discomfort in his groin, according to coach Pierre Sage. "He's in pain with his groin again, so we've chosen to give him some treatment to get him to 100%."
Analysis: Sarr remains sidelined after suffering a recurrence of the groin discomfort that has affected his fitness. Crystal Palace have opted to give the winger additional treatment rather than risk aggravating the issue, leaving his return timeline uncertain. Dwight McNeil has been selected to start on the wing against Newcastle in his absence, providing an alternative in the attacking lineup. Sarr's availability for upcoming fixtures will depend on his response to treatment and recovery over the coming days.
Cleared to start against Nottingham
Sarr is fully available and fit enough to start Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest after returning to training, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Ismaila Sarr is now able to start. He had his best session for us this week and I hope we can 're-find' the player."
Analysis: Sarr has been cleared to return to the starting lineup against Nottingham Forest after successfully completing training during the week. The winger did not feature in any of Senegal's three matches during the international break, including two AFCON fixtures and one friendly, but has now regained sufficient fitness to start. His return provides Palace with an important attacking boost, and he could immediately reclaim his usual role on the wing after impressing manager Pierre Sage in training.
