Wharton facing surgery blow admits Palace boss Glasner

Glasner expressed that the decision is constantly on their minds and they have regular discussions about it, particularly during the international break. He emphasized that the choice will be a collective decision made by the team.

“We are talking with him and, if we have to do it, finding the right moment. Or,  the other side, his body will tell us. If the pain gets worse, then we have to do it.

“At the moment, it’s okay. He can do all the training sessions. Pain: some days more, some days less. He is the first guy (into the training ground) in the morning, together with Marc (Guehi). He is here at 8:30 in the morning and leaving very late,   a lot of treatment.

“We need him, he knows this, and he is here for the team. We hope it gets better, but, to be honest, it doesn’t look like that."
