AliousMarc Guehi, despite being heavily linked with a transfer away from Crystal Palace this summer, was selected as captain for their match.
While a move seems imminent before the transfer deadline, the deal hasn’t been finalized yet, allowing manager Oliver Glasner to include the England international in his starting lineup against the Championship side.
Newcastle United and Palace held further talks on Monday regarding what could be a record-breaking transfer for the Magpies.
Palace has already turned down four offers from Newcastle for Guehi this summer.By playing for Palace in this match, Guehi would be cup-tied and unable to represent Newcastle in the Carabao Cup this season if the transfer goes through.
Guehi’s reputation has grown significantly since joining Palace from Chelsea in 2021, with his impressive performances for both club and country.
His recent standout displays helped England reach the Euro 2024 final, further increasing interest in the defender.
