Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner after the Premier League match at Craven Cottage, London.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner explained that Adam Wharton could start against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old replaced Jefferson Lerma in the 81st minute of Saturday’s 2-0 win over Fulham.
Since returning from his long-term groin injury earlier this month, Wharton’s sole start came against Doncaster in the FA Cup, with the Englishman waiting to get the nod in the Premier League.
Alongside his brief cameo against Fulham, the midfielder managed 45 minutes against Everton last week when introduced as a half time substitution.
However, a return to the eleven might arrive against Aston Villa, with Glasner divulging that Jefferson Lerma grappled with a hamstring niggle in the week leading up to the Fulham victory.
“It is the first time he [Wharton] has been fit since the final of the Euros,” said Glasner. “It is important to manage the minutes in the best way.
