Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Eddie Nketiah sustained a hamstring injury against Wolves.

Nketiah, 25, signed from Arsenal for a fee potentially rising to £30 million, becomes the ninth player ruled out ahead of Palace's clash with Fulham on Saturday. 

Detailing the state of his squad ahead of tomorrow's London derby, Glasner acknowledged that he has a limited group to select from. 

"We suffer with several injuries. Long-term it's Chadi Riad and Franca still out. Then it's Eberechi Eze still out, and Adam Wharton after his surgery is still out. Jefferson Lerma is still out.

"Eddie Nketiah is out with a hamstring injury. Will Hughes is suspended with a fifth yellow card, so it is quite a tight squad. Joel Ward and Chris Richards are back."

Reports suggested that Nketiah picked up his hamstring injury in a private training session away from the club. However, the Crystal Palace boss was quick to rubbish the claims, taking the blame for the attacker's setback. 

"Eddie played the last two games, at Villa he was the guy who was sprinting most on the pitch in 83 minutes.

"I think it was my mistake, my fault, that I didn't sub him earlier in the Wolves game because he was sprinting again.

"In the Tottenham game, we had the highest intensity runs in the Premier League, and this was all in three days.

"I think we should have subbed him a bit earlier. He felt something in his hamstring during the game, but he was fighting for the team until the end of the game and now he has problems. Let's see how long it will take. 

"I heard about [the private training session]. I spoke to him and Eddie mentioned after the game that he felt his hamstring.

"So he had a scan and we found out it was more serious than we expected. I always trust my players, so why should I trust a strange source instead of my players?"
