"Fortunately, he does not need surgery. The knee, the injury is not as bad as feared, and so we think we can deal with the knee in a better way than with surgery. He will miss a certain time, and hopefully, he is back soon. It's important for him now that it's clear he will be a Crystal Palace player, at least until the summer. I am 100% convinced that JP will give us his best when he wears the Eagles shirt again."
"Oliver Glasner confirmed Jean-Philippe Mateta does not need knee surgery and is "100% convinced" the forward will give his all when he returns for Crystal Palace. Mateta had been very close to a January move to AC Milan, but the deal broke down due to the Frenchman failing his medical with a knee issue, which Palace feared may require surgery. However, that outcome has not come to pass, though Mateta will still be sidelined for Palace's upcoming games, including their trip to Burnley on Wednesday."
Oliver Glasner confirmed Jean-Philippe Mateta does not need knee surgery and that the knee injury is less serious than feared, allowing non-surgical management. Mateta was close to a January move to AC Milan but failed a medical because of the knee, so that transfer collapsed; he will still be sidelined for upcoming Crystal Palace games, including the trip to Burnley. Glasner said Mateta will be a Palace player at least until the summer and expressed full confidence he will give his best on return. Crystal Palace beat Brighton 1-0 to end a nine-game winless run and rise to 13th. Burnley lost 2-0 to West Ham, remain 19th and have gone 16 league games without a victory, a situation Scott Parker described as worrying.
