Chadi Riad News: Building fitness with U21

Riad is in the starting XI with the U21 for Monday's clash against Derby County as he continues to build his fitness.

Riad played 14 minutes in Sunday's 3-1 loss against Chelsea and provided the assist for Crystal Palace's only goal in his season debut. The defender is in the starting squad one day later, as he starts with the U21 against Derby County with the aim of building his fitness after such a long period on the sidelines due to a torn ACL.
