Daichi Kamada Injury: Out vs. Chelsea

Kamada (knee) is out for Sunday's game against Chelsea, manager Oliver Glasner told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "[Daichi] Kamada is out for Chelsea game," he said. "Let's see if he's available for Fredrikstad on Thursday night. It will be quite tight, but he will be definitely out for Chelsea."

Kamada suffered an injury in the Community Shield win over Liverpool last Sunday and will be forced to sit out the EPL opener. The injury isn't believed to be too severe, however, so he might have a shot at returning as early as Thursday when Palace takes on Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the UEFA Conference League playoffs.
