A significant injury update has now emerged on two Crystal Palace stars ahead of the tough test against Liverpool in the Premier League this Saturday.
Palace gearing up for difficult game against Liverpool
Stretching back to last season, Palace are on a remarkable undefeated streak, with Opta recently revealing they have the chance to make history if they avoid defeat in their next match.
However, it will be a big ask for the Eagles to get another win on the board, and even a draw would probably be considered a good result, with Liverpool, who have won all five of their matches up to this point, set to travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday.
That said, Oliver Glasner’s men will know they have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the Reds, given that they won the Community Shield on penalties at the start of the season, after drawing 2-2 in regular time.
Glasner will need his best players available to stand a chance of taking something from the game, and the manager has now received a timely injury boost, with Sky Sports reporter James Savundra revealing Ismaila Sarr and Yeremy Pino are “set to feature this weekend”.
In a recent update on X, Savundra also stated that both players trained on Wednesday, after initially being doubts for this weekend’s game, with Ismaila Sarr limping off in the 3-0 win against Aston Villa, and Pino being forced off due to knee pain against West Ham United last time out.
Pino and Sarr's availability is huge boost for Palace
Pino is yet to make a real impact at Selhurst Park, but there have been some promising signs, with Glasner singing the Spanish winger’s praises after the 0-0 draw against Sunderland.
Sarr, on the other hand, has proven himself over a longer time period, featuring in all 38 of Palace’s Premier League games last season, and the 27-year-old has made a fantastic start to the new campaign.

As a result, it is a major boost that both attackers are set to be available for this weekend’s tough test against Liverpool.
