A good point, especially with a 3 week break between our games to give him some proper recovery time

Didn't we do this last time with Wharton?

I was at the England U21 game last night. Esse came off the bench around the hour mark, scored a great header and could have had a hat-trick. He seemed to really enjoy the goal and properly celebrated. He largely clung to the left wing and chased back to support the defence. If we can get his confidence back then I still think he can be a useful asset for us. The key will be a coach who can help him with his positioning. A bit like JRS, I'm not always convinced he knows the best place to be.

Kporha
Devenny
What will be the makeup of our team on the first day of next season?
There will be a new manager, Kamada is going together with possibly Mateta and Lerma and then there is speculation on Munoz, Wharton, Lacroix and Sarr.
Doesn't mean that they will all go, but it looks like being very much a summer of transition.

In my mind, we could really do with being more strong on players with injuries going on international duty. I have to say my alliegance lays far more with club than country.
I'm always reminded of how Ferguson would deal with it. He was a bit extreme perhaps but I suspect you know what I mean.

As I understand it there is no obligation for clubs to release players for friendlies only Uefa / Fifa competitions. However, if clubs refuse players permission, especially in the lead up to an international competition, this may lead to the player becoming unsettled and wanting a move. Palace tend to avoid this situation and let them go as there enough other factors to worry about.

This is my understanding too. I think an issue here are the new competitions. Nations League etc.
Of course, teams at the top of the tree - I'm looking at you Arsenal - can withdraw players without much concern. Upping Wharton's value would benefit both the player and club. Unfortunately, he hasn't particularly impressed and returned injured

The nations league was supposed to replace meaningless friendlies, now it’s just meaningless nations league
With the two debacles we’ve just had they might as well play friendlies at the training ground behind closed doors……but then the cynic that I am, this wouldn’t sell the new shirts or off load the mugs who go to watch these training sessions of their hard earned

Sweden would think otherwise ref meaningless and if it was us going to the USA for the WC via the nations league we would be more than happy with it. The same chance will be included for the euros in two years I would think.
