Dean Henderson limps in training video, Palace doubt for Everton opener

Dean Henderson appears a doubt for Crystal Palace’s Premier League opener at Everton after he was seen limping in a club video. According to The Standard, a now deleted Instagram reel from the training ground showed the goalkeeper struggling in the background.

Henderson was forced off during Palace’s pre-season defeat by Freiburg last weekend, a setback for new manager Pierre Sage’s preparations.

He had only just returned from extended leave after starting England’s World Cup third-place play-off win over France last month, and the Freiburg match was his first pre-season outing.

The Palace captain was taken off on the hour, with deputy Walter Benitez introduced as part of pre-planned changes.

Henderson still appears to be struggling and could miss Saturday’s trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium if he does not recover in time.

Palace are entering a new era this term after manager Oliver Glasner left at the end of his contract.
