Crystal Palace call up teenage sensation Owen Goodman for Leeds United clash
Crystal Palace youngsters Owen Goodman and Jake Grante have been called up to training ahead of the game against Leeds United.
As confirmed by Palace’s official website, the 18-year-old Goodman who is a goalkeeper and the 16-year-old defender have both been spotted in training.
Leeds will travel to Selhurst Park to take on the London outfit after dropping two points at home against Aston Villa over the weekend.
Have to win this
Jesse Marsch’s side cannot afford to drop more points against clubs around them in the table if they are to avoid a relegation battle this summer.
The American knows just how hard it was to keep the side up and they needed to rely on other results to go their way despite winning on the final day.
Nobody in Elland Road would want a repeat of what happened last term and to avoid that, they need to pick up three points against sides that are struggling.
Despite all the promise shown under Patrick Vieira, they find themselves in 17th place and confidence surely is not high down there.
Luis Sinisterra will be missing this one but apart from him and the long-term injury concerns, Marsch has a pretty fit squad at his disposal.
Patrick Bamford coming for the Colombian is probably the only change that they’re likely to make and they need to do secure crucial three points on the road.
