Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Newcastle at Selhurst Park (kick-off 14:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • Glasner said attackers Jorgen Strand Larsen and Christantus Uche will be available for Sunday's match, but the club still need to assess both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Evan Guessand before deciding if they are available.
  • Glasner confirmed Cheick Doucoure will not be available and that Eddie Nketiah will not play again this season.
  • More on team news: "We are not planning to rotate massively. Firstly because I am convinced that the players are fresher. Secondly, the best preparation for a game is a good performance in the previous one. We want to go to Florence with a good performance and a good result."
  • Glasner says he expects Newcastle to be the "fresher" side on Sunday given that they haven't played a match for three weeks, adding: "Eddie Howe's teams always play with some of the highest intensity in the Premier League, with so much pace".
  • He spoke more on the Magpies' weak points: "They conceded quite a lot of goals in their last few games before the [international] break, they can often concede two or three goals. If we are sharp and play our style, I am pretty convinced we can create three or four chances and then it's about being efficient from it – and also controlling their pace."
