Sean Byrne - BBC Sport researcherFri, November 28, 2025 at 1:13 PM UTC·2 min readCrystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Selhurst Park (kick-off 12:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOn team news ahead of Sunday's game: "Borna Sosa will miss this game again, but Will [Hughes] doesn't look so bad, so we're very hopeful that he'll be in the matchday squad. All others are fine."
On managing minutes for players during a busy schedule: "We started with three new players yesterday [against Strasbourg]. We managed Marc Guehi's and Chris Richards' minutes, and yes, maybe [we should have rotated more], but it's always the question afterwards. It's always when you win, you have done everything right, and if you lose, then questions are asked."
On Tyrick Mitchell's goal against Strasbourg: "I am really pleased with the goal yesterday, because the finish, the angle was not so easy. We do this in training, we started in pre-season, getting him into this position and then having a clear idea what to do, not just to shoot, because very often you hit the goalkeeper's body, so either hitting the side netting on the far post, or short and high."
On their Carabao Cup game against Arsenal being changed to 23 December: "We always say in Germany, where you have a disadvantage, you always have an advantage. The game now against Arsenal is on 23 [December], it's moved from the 24th to the 23rd, that means all the players can celebrate Christmas with their families, because everybody gets off 24th and 25th. Of course, before it's quite busy and afterwards, but Christmas is family time."
On Sunday's opponents Manchester United: "I am really looking forward to this game. They are doing well, I think we are doing well and also yesterday's defeat, we won't lose our minds. It is just now, again, finding the right tweaks where we can adjust with no time for training."
