Pierre Sage

Pierre Sage on Palace v Brighton, 18 October: "Some of our players of the starting 11 this year were substitutes last year... they have to take a personal revenge." He would not commit on Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ben Chilwell, Takehiro Tomiyasu or Dean Henderson pending training.

Palace go to Lyon in the Europa League without Jean-Philippe Mateta, Dean Henderson, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben Chilwell and Chadi Riad Dnanou, Pierre Sage confirmed; otherwise everyone in the squad is available. On 3,000 travelling fans: "a really good proof of love."
