I’m going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it’s party town history than it’s football team, but there you go), but before that how about the interview in The Standard with Gabriel Jesus in which he says he’s feeling good and is looking forward to the final stages of his rehab and a return to the pitch soon. How soon that is remains to be seen, with even him saying that he has to hold himself back from doing too much, as he’s now on the training pitches. A quick google of a ruptured ACL puts the timeframe at nine to 12 months, so we’re slap bang in the middle of that and given he’s 28 and not getting any young, any setback now could have longer damage than any potential involvement in this season.

It’s a fascinating case because I think most of us have sadly moved on from him, but as Simon Collings’ article points out, it’s easy to forget that before he did...
