Fit and available Saturday
Wharton (groin) was confirmed fit for Saturday's clash against Liverpool after training without any issues, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Adam is good. He is fit and trained yesterday without any issues. So he'll be available for Liverpool."
Analysis: Wharton had missed the West Ham clash as a precaution after showing minor clinical symptoms following the Conference League clash against Fiorentina, but his clean team training sessions puts any doubts to rest ahead of the Anfield trip. The midfielder is an important piece of Crystal Palace's engine room and his availability gives coach Glasner his preferred midfield options for one of the toughest remaining fixtures on the Eagles' calendar.
Expected back Saturday
Wharton (groin) could have a chance to return to action in the next visit to Liverpool after manager Oliver Glasner said "He should be back [for Liverpool away on Saturday] - it was mostly a precaution more or less, [he showed] a little bit of clinical symptoms. I expect him back on Thursday in training when we start to prepare for the Liverpool game and he should be available.", the club reported.
Analysis: Wharton missed Monday's draw against West Ham with the issue he picked up during the previous Conference League clash against Fiorentina. However, he's is now hopeful to avoid a longer absence, which would be great news for the squad's midfield depth. As soon as he's ready to play, he'll compete for minutes with Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma and Daichi Kamada.
