Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that the duo of Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi will play in the Conference League.
Following their expulsion from the Europa League and their opening day draw against Chelsea, where an Eze free-kick was contentiously disallowed for offside, the Eagles are gearing up to kick off the club’s first-ever European rendezvous.
Norwegians Fredrikstad are the only thing standing between Palace and a place in this season’s Conference League, and Glasne in a chat with the club’s website said that the side are buoyed by the inclusion of Eze and Guehi ahead of their first-leg showdown at Selhurst Park.

“The player [Eze] gives 100% because he is under contract. Many were surprised they both [Eze and Guehi] started against Chelsea and may be surprised again [on Thursday] — but they are committed to the team for as long as they are here,” Glasner said.
“He [Guehi] is one of the most ambitious players I’ve met. He was emotional, exhausted, and disappointed we didn’t win.
“I see it as the opposite of what’s been suggested — it shows how far this club has developed, that we’re not content with just a draw at Chelsea.”
