Crystal Palace boss Glasner happy Olise available for Man City clash

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is delighted having Michael Olise available for Saturday's clash with Manchester City.

Palace host City on Saturday.

Glasner said: "All the players who were in the squad the last game are fit. Michael Olise is coming back into the squad. We spoke with the medical team and they advised us for 15 to 20 minutes. He is ready. It gives us one more option at the end of the game and we're happy that he's back again."

On how Olise has trained this week, he said: "He showed his individual quality in possession, his dribbling and finishing are great. He was out for eight weeks and for the fourth time this season. He was more in rehab than on the pitch. We'll give him the time to find his best performance and his quality.

"Therefore he needs minutes, he needs rhythm, he needs training. I don't expect him to be at the best level after eight or nine weeks of injury. We hope that it's still a tight game at the end then maybe he can have one or two decisive situations to decide the game for us."
