Crystal Palace injury news as Patrick Vieira loses midfielder ahead of Newcastle United trip

Patrick Vieira has provided a fresh injury update on his Crystal Palace squad ahead of their Premier League trip to Newcastle on Wednesday night.

The Eagles were in action just two days ago as they suffered a 2-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Wembley, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount both scoring second-half goals to end Palace’s memorable cup run.

With a quick turnaround to their league fixture on Tyneside, Vieira spoke to the press on Tuesday afternoon and detailed the condition of his squad ahead of their trip to St James’ Park. The Frenchman confirmed full-back Nathan Ferguson remained on the sidelines while club captain Luka Milivojevic was also ruled out. The Serbian replaced Cheikhou Kouyate in the 85th minute at Wembley but couldn't help pull the Eagles back into the clash.

“Our captain Luka will not be part of the group [to Newcastle],” said Vieira in his pre-match press conference. “He felt something in his hamstring so he won’t be part of the team. Nathan [Ferguson] is still injured. Outside of those two, everybody is good.”

Both Tyrick Mitchell (calf) and Michael Olise (foot) recovered from their respective injuries to feature against Chelsea and will both be part of the travelling squad to face the Magpies on Wednesday night.

Eddie Howe revealed in his pre-match press conference that his side would be training on Wednesday morning ahead of the night game at St James’ Park and said the team would still be without Callum Wilson for the clash. Wilson scored in the reverse fixture between the two sides at Selhurst Park in October but has been out since mid-January with a calf injury sustained against Manchester United.
