Crystal Palace without Christian Benteke for Newcastle clash
Posted Saturday, September 22, 2018 by PA
Christian Benteke will be Crystal Palace’s only significant absentee when they host Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.
The striker remains sidelined with a knee injury, so Jordan Ayew is expected to continue to deputise.
Scott Dann and Connor Wickham continue their recoveries from long-term knee injuries.
Newcastle skipper Jamaal Lascelles is fit to take his place in the squad for the trip to Selhurst Park.
Defender Lascelles did not reappear for the second half of last weekend’s 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal after aggravating an ankle problem in the warm-up, but he is back in training and available.
Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was not risked against the Gunners after returning to the bench following a lay-off with a thigh injury, but has trained all week and only defender Florian Lejeune (knee ligaments) is missing.
