In most shops 28 days if in marketable condition.Is there a return date for these two yet?
Riad shows as 1/1/2026Is there a return date for these two yet?
2026?! What happened?
Very true, it tends to be based on press release info i think so not wholly accurate but in the past it has been in the right ball park for other returnees from injuryThat also shows no return date for Wharton since May so it doesn’t look entirely reliable!
No idea, might be BS but equally might be from a press release2026?! What happened?
Riad was never coming back until January this season.2026?! What happened?
I'm having trouble loading that website.Riad was never coming back until January this season.
As far as I knew, it was the original injury. This is from multiple sources:I'm having trouble loading that website.
What exactly was the new injury? I must have missed when that happened.
In other words, it's the off-season and there won't be any meaningful updates until the PL season is up and running again.That also shows no return date for Wharton since May so it doesn’t look entirely reliable!
Very sad, as we've seen time and time again it's very rare that a player bounces back to full potential after a year out at the top level.As far as I knew, it was the original injury. This is from multiple sources:
Crystal Palace defender Chadi Riad suffered a suspected anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in training, potentially sidelining him for the rest of the season and beyond. The injury, if confirmed, would be a significant blow to Crystal Palace, who are already short on defensive options.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Nature of the Injury:
The injury is suspected to be a ruptured ACL, which is a serious knee injury that typically requires surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation period.
Impact on Crystal Palace:
The injury leaves Crystal Palace with a shortage of defenders, particularly in the center-back position, as they were already dealing with other injuries and a recall of Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell.
Possible Recovery Timeline:
If the ACL injury is confirmed, Riad could be out for a significant period, potentially missing the rest of the 2024/25 season and possibly part of the following season.
Riad's Season So Far:
Riad's first season at Crystal Palace has been hampered by injuries, with this latest setback potentially limiting him to only a few appearances.
He’s young so good chance he will heal and recover. Eze had serious injury and fully recovered. Massive difference if serious injury in late 20’s or olderVery sad, as we've seen time and time again it's very rare that a player bounces back to full potential after a year out at the top level.
Here's hoping he's one of the ones that do.
Agree.Doucoure was among our most important players a couple of years ago and linked with Liverpool. I'd completely forgotten we still had him.
