Crystal Palace boss Glasner: We'll be careful with Olise

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says they'll be careful about the fitness of Michael Olise.

Olise is still recovering from his latest injury.

Glasner said: "It was nice that Michael received the [London Football] award for the Goal of the Season yesterday evening, so we all congratulated him today.

"He deserves it and it gives him confidence and a good feeling for working out because Michael is a player – I hope most of the players, but Michael especially – he wants to train football, and it's tough for him to train in the gym and to run when he cannot play football [due to injury].

"But we expect him back… I don't know, we don't know exactly… but at the end of March or April, I hope everything goes well and our medical department does a great job, and he's also very ambitious to train with us, and I think maybe after the international team break, he can be with us in training. But it was his third heavy injury this season, so we'll take care of him.

"With every player we want to avoid any injury and, of course, when you have this past with three injuries, starting in the summer after the Under-21s with France… so it's important to take care of all our players."
