Glasner on Chalobah, potential new signings and West Ham
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at West Ham (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner said Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerma will not be available due to sickness: "He felt a lack of power. We had to take him off after 20 minutes at Leicester and then he felt unwell."
There is also a "little question" on Ismaila Sarr as he is suffering with a slight hamstring injury.
However, everyone else who was available on Tuesday night will be in contention at London Stadium.
On Chelsea recalling defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan: "It was a little bit surprising but it's very good for us that Chadi Riad is back. We'll do something [business in the transfer window] if it makes sense. If we think we can't find the right player to achieve our goals, then we won't do anything."
On transfer business: "I hope that we can announce a signing quite early. Maybe later today or tomorrow. "
On West Ham boss Graham Potter: "I don't know him [Graham Potter] in person, but everything I hear about him is positive. He did a great job at Brighton and maybe deserved more time at Chelsea to implement his ideas. From what I saw, he had a prompt impact on the team. In their FA Cup game at Aston Villa, he was only there two days and in the first half they were very structured. They kept Villa to no shots at half-time - at Villa Park that is quite difficult."
On how West Ham play: " They make it difficult to find space to create chances against them. Against Fulham, they were efficient and had four shots and scored three goals. It was a good switch between high press – they scored two empty-net goals because they won the ball very high in the opposite box. They're struggling with strikers after the accident of Michail Antonio and the injury of Niclas Fullkrug but in the last game, they played with Lucas Paqueta as a false nine and Tomas Soucek."
