Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton faces battle to be fit for FA Cup final after being ruled OUT of Tottenham clash...while Oliver Glasner praises Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou for weathering 's***storm'

Crystal Palace talisman Adam Wharton faces a battle to be fit for the FA Cup final after being ruled out of this weekend’s game against Tottenham.

Oliver Glasner confirmed the England midfielder has been in ‘too much pain’ to train this week after Wharton limped out of Palace’s draw with Nottingham Forest after injuring ligaments in his ankle.

Wharton looked in good spirits at Palace’s training ground on Friday and Glasner said he is hopeful his star midfielder will be back in time to face Manchester City at Wembley next weekend.
