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

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • Glasner is "hopeful" Daniel Munoz will be in the squad on Sunday. Munoz will be assessed but "if he can train fully with us on Saturday" then he will be involved in the matchday squad.
  • On Jean-Philippe Mateta's return from injury: "We have just one league game and one Conference League game [this month]. It was the plan now to get him back and also have him available and give him a few minutes to get him back in. Then, we have three weeks. Of course, I wish for him to be called up by France, but I can't see it right now because he was injured for a long time."
  • On if Mateta and Jorgen Strand Larsen could play together: "Yes, we were talking about it on the bench with my assistants and discussing it. Having this opportunity, having two tall strikers, their biggest strength is in the box. It's good to have this option."
  • On hopes for the rest of the season: "We will try to get as many points as possible. I always want more than the season before. If we can achieve it, I don't know right now, but we will definitely go into every single game to get the win."
