Crystal Palace
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 8/1/2025
Season over
Doucoure (knee) is set for surgery and is done for the season, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "After further assessments, Cheick needs surgery on his knee, and Chadi has ruptured his ACL [Anterior Cruciate Ligament], so we have lost both for the rest of the season - and I think Chadi even longer, whereas we hope Cheicky will return for pre-season next season - so it's two long-term injuries."
ANALYSIS
Doucoure will be out for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign, and could miss part of pre-season for 2025/26. It's a brutal turn for the midfielder, who had a tough season due to injuries. He made just 13 appearances (four starts) and struggled with a plethora of injuries. The hope for Doucoure will to be to get fully fit for 2025/26.

Nearing return
Doucoure (toe) will join team training after Monday's clash with Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But also no new injured players are coming back, so we have the same squad. It looks like Cheick Doucouré will train with us after the Nottingham [Forest] game - at least parts of the training sessions - so he's maybe the guy who is closest to returning."
