Crystal Palace: Oliver Glasner sends Trevoh Chalobah warning amid Chelsea recall rumours

Trevoh Chalobah will be left out of the Crystal Palace squad to face Leicester if manager Oliver Glasner feels uncertainty over his future is in danger of becoming a distraction. Glasner has been clear that Chalobah’s involvement in Wednesday night’s match at the King Power Stadium depends on how disruptive the Englishman’s situation proves to his preparations for the match.
Chelsea are considering recalling Chalobah from his year-long loan at Palace six month early in order to bolster defensive numbers, after hamstring injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile left them short of centre-backs, and they are. Earlier on Tuesday, Glasner admitted Palace feel like “passengers” in a situation where Chelsea are the “pilot driving the plane”.
Speaking more on the situation, the Austrian said: “I cannot tell you details of the contract. It’s not for the public. But there is uncertainty at the moment. “Everyone wants and needs clarity when you play a Premier League game. You cannot be thinking all day about different things. You cannot be getting ready at 7pm in the evening for Premier League games.
“Every player has to be focused on what he has to do, the plan, what we want to do. If I think this is in danger, then I have to take a decision. That is just the situation.”. Meanwhile, midfielder Adam Wharton is into his second week of individualised training on the grass as he approaches a return to action at the end of the month or in early February.
