Crystal Palace boss Glasner: Olise looks a brilliant player

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is excited by the prospect of working with Michael Olise.

The midfielder is back after injury, but won't be fit for the trip to Nottingham Forest.

Glasner said: “It's good news, but he's not in the squad [for Nottingham Forest]. He did many parts of training this week – not all the parts – and he's on the way back, but the Nottingham game is too early. The Bournemouth game [on Tuesday] is too early, then we will see in the next days.

“Of course, Michael showed in the sessions that he's a brilliant player, but the focus is on all the other players tomorrow because I don't look too far in the future. It's important [to focus on] the Nottingham game, and Michael won't play, so the focus and concentration is on all the other players.

Jeffrey Schlupp is back after his injury. It's the first game after many weeks and the group is getting bigger and bigger, and that gives us more options. It's very important for us that the players come back from injuries. Daniel [Munoz] is alright – he had just a small issue [when with Colombia], but nothing serious, so he will be with us tomorrow."
