Chilwell (undisclosed) remains in contention for Sunday's Premier League clash against Brighton, although Crystal Palace will need to assess his fitness during the final training sessions before confirming his availability, according to coach Pierre Sage. "I prefer to wait for the session of today - maybe the one tomorrow too - but for the moment we hope, we expect it, but we don't know."
Analysis:Chilwell has missed Crystal Palace's last two matches against Nottingham Forest and Lyon following the international break due to an unspecified fitness issue. The left-back could be available again Sunday, but his involvement remains uncertain pending further assessment. Chilwell has registered one goal across two Premier League substitute appearances totaling 29 minutes this season, alongside an assist in his lone EFL Cup start. He remains behind Tyrick Mitchell in the competition for the starting left wing-back role.
