Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana have both โปรโมชั่น ufabet sidelined by long-term injuries. Although the latter has questioned manager Enzo Maresca’s public belief. That he could be sidelined for the entire season.
The limited options available to Maresca saw him turn to 18-year-old Josh Acheampong. Who dazzled against a Palace side unable to field Chalobah at the weekend.
It had previously claim. That Chelsea loan contract with Palace does not include a break clause.
