Palace have left it ‘very late’ to sign replacements – Glasner

Oliver Glasner says Crystal Palace have left it very late to make additional signings with just ten days remaining in the transfer window.

He said: “My job is to prepare the team. I am not involved in the transfer stuff that is going on. I just know that he (Eze) was not available today. We are very late.

“We have ten days to go (in the transfer window) to find the right replacements. Again, I think we could have done much better than we did. It is not criticism, it is just telling facts.”

Dortmund interested in signing Chelsea’s Anselmino

Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino on loan.

The Athletic reported in the Transfer DealSheet that Anselmino had offers from Champions League and Europa League clubs outside the United Kingdom but will not go to Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed that a loan move for Anselmino was being planned when asked by The Athletic at a press conference on Thursday.

The club are prepared to let the 20-year-old go despite the anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by Levi Colwill that will rule him out for several months.

Glasner on Eze: He told me he was ‘not well to play’



When asked about Eberechi Eze’s absence tonight, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner told Channel 5 Sport: “Honestly, I expected that he (Eze) would start today for us. He called me this morning and told me that he doesn’t feel well to play this evening. Of course, I have to accept it. Everything else, you have to ask the chairman.

“I have to accept if a player tells me he is not ready to play. I called the player who would start in his place which is Justin Devenny.

“We don’t like to change the starting eleven on the matchday, especially in this situation. It is the first time playing European football for Crystal Palace. We have to deal with it.”
