Crystal Palace v Aston Villa early Premier League injury news as 9 out and 5 doubts

Aston Villa travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in their final game of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Villa played to an entertaining six-goal thriller against Liverpool on Monday in their final home match of the campaign. An Emi Martinez own goal was quickly cancelled out by a Youri Tielemans equaliser and then super sub Jhon Duran rescued a point after Cody Gakpo and Jarrell Quansah had given the Reds the lead.

Palace are hoping to get revenge on Villa after suffering a 3-1 defeat back in September. Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring for Palace but an 87th-minute equaliser from Duran before goals from Douglas Luiz and Leon Bailey in the eighth and 11th minute of stoppage time gave Unai Emery’s side the victory.

Here’s the latest injury and team news ahead of the final match of the campaign.

Aston Villa team news

Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendia, Tyrone Mings and Jacob Ramsey are all confirmed absentees. Kamara, Mings and Buendia all have knee injuries that came at different points of the campaign. Kamara suffered his in February against Manchester United whilst Mings and Buendia have missed the whole of the campaign after picking up theirs in August.

Buendia and Mings are unlikely to play against Palace, whilst Kamara is out until October. Jacob Ramsey is out with a toe injury that he has been contending with over the course of the season.

Youri Tielemans came back in to the side on Monday and made an impact by scoring in the draw with Liverpool. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez played his first league game since coming off against Chelsea. Alex Moreno, Morgan Rogers, and Matty Cash are all doubtful. Unfortunately Matty Cash in the build-up to the game suffered a calf strain. He is hopeful of playing for Poland at EURO 2024.

One player that won’t be featuring for Germany this summer is Nicolo Zaniolo only lasted 14 minutes before having to be replaced by Jhon Duran. He is reported to have suffered a microfracture in his foot and Luciano Spalletti, the manager of Italy has ruled out his participation.

When asked for an update on Rogers, who hasn’t played since picking up a hamstring injury against Brighton, Emery said: “Today was impossible for him to be available. Maybe for Sunday with some days to come he can try to be available, but I don’t know exactly."

Out: Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendia, Tyrone Mings and Jacob Ramsey and Nicolo Zaniolo. Doubtful: Alex Moreno, Morgan Rogers, and Matty Cash.

Crystal Palace team news

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is ruled out after requiring surgery on his below. Rob Holding's season looks to be over after suffering a hamstring injury which has limited him to just one senior appearance for the Eagles this season.

Matheus Franca is ruled out with a groin problem and we won't see Naouirou Ahamada because he has been suspended for two games after geting two yellow cards. Jefferon Lerma and Will Hughes are both doubts with the former having the better chance of playing.

When asked about the injuries on Lerma and Hughes, manager Oliver Glasner said: "Jefferson took part in the last two sessions, so it is too early for him, but he will be back for Aston Villa.

"We hope that it's not that serious. It was a crash knee-to-knee, but I hope that his (Will Hughes) leg was in the air so that nothing happened with a tear. He has pain, so we will see.”

Out: Sam Johnstone, Rob Holding, Matheus Franca, Naouirou Ahamada. Doubt: Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes.
