Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has withdrawn from the England squad because of injury. He will return to his club to continue rehabilitation on the foot injury he sustained against AZ Alkmaar in a Conference League game last week. The 25-year-old was left out of the squad for England's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday and will miss the Three Lions' final 2026 World Cup qualifier in Albania.
It's been voted the best bakery chain in Britain, but its expansion continues to divide locals who favour independent coffee shops. Love or loathe a bougie Gail's Bakery, another branch is due to open in south London - and some residents are not happy. The upmarket cafe, which is known for its £5 sourdough loaves and cinnamon buns, will open next month in the former Coopers pub in Westow Hill, Crystal Palace.

Players like Romain Esse and Christantus Uche were recently involved with the Crystal Palace under-21 side against Stevenage, and that is a strong hint that the two players will not be a part of the team in the midweek. Both players have struggled for opportunities under Oliver Glasner this season, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince the manager to give them more opportunities in the coming weeks.
There is no doubt that Bellingham is a talented young player with a bright future, and he could prove to be a solid future investment. Jobe Bellingham would be an excellent addition On paper, he could be the ideal partner for Adam Wharton, and Palace would do exceedingly well to secure his signature.
