Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner seemingly confirmed Eberechi Eze’s departure from the club and said the Eagles must improve their squad before the transfer deadline.
Eze withdrew from Palace's team ahead of their UEFA Conference League victory over Fredrikstad on Thursday after calling in sick as he closes in on a move to Arsenal.
Glasner said at his pre-match press conference that Eze would start, but speculation developed throughout Thursday that something had changed - and this was confirmed when the Palace team sheet was released with the Palace boss adding: 'He said he doesn't feel well'.
