Quite although i'd say it's more the drop in quality replacement that concerns us - much like the majority of the back 5.Just shows how important he has become to us already that we are all shitting ourselves as to whether he will be fit or not.
yes 1pmIs Agne doiing a press conference today?
Yeah - tough spot.Glass half full: It can't be too bad if he's going to be assessed and might be available.
Glass half empty: Shit.
100% If Davies is back then we should be ok against Palace especially as they have no Eze or Ollise.At least Davies is back if worse comes to worse.
Rather him playing then Emerson right back and porro left back.

I think Udogie won't play tomorrow, we won't risk him if there is a bit of a strain there.
It's no great surprise really. It's easy to forget that he is only 20 years old and he will need to be managed carefully to ensure he doesn't get burnt out. There aren't too many 20 year olds playing regularly at this level and he is up and down the pitch more than most players in our team. I still expect (hope) him to start on Friday though but I can understand why he has maybe been given a few days of a rest.Official site and Ange indicates fatigue.

If Davies is fit to start I'd rest Udogie tomorrow. Or we can start him and bring him off around 55-60 as we have enough time between this and Chelsea.We've gotta remember that even though he's a big lad and plays like he's been at the top level for years - he's still only 20 years old. His body is still developing and we've gotta be wary of overusing him.
Can see logic in wanting to rest him and Bissouma in prep for Chelsea but games like these are the kind of banana skin we always seem to fuck up. I can tell the meltdown when we lose our first PL game under Ange is going to be horrific so am inclined to do all we can to keep the run going, particularly as it would put pressure on all the other teams playing over the weekend to see us 5 points clear at the top if we win
It's not that easy if Udogies fitness is a worry. No one will be happy if Udogie gets seriously injured and misses several weeks/months.we can't underestimate Palace. play the strongest team and hope to take the lead at around 60 minutes then we assess if we can bring on Davies/Royal to seal the win
