Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner expects Eberechi Eze to feature in the club's first European fixture, despite being in talks over a move to Tottenham.

Eberechi Eze is now expected to start Crystal Palace’s first game of the Premier League season against Chelsea, after initial reports suggested the attacking midfielder would be left out amid ongoing interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Referee Darren England initially allowed Eze’s bullet finish after 15 minutes to stand, but a rarely-invoked rule stating an attacking player may not stand within a yard of the defensive wall at a free-kick meant the presence of Marc Guehi – another surprise starter amid interest from Liverpool – next to Moises Caicedo constituted a foul.
