Eberechi Eze has not been named in the Crystal Palace squad to face Fredrikstad as he closes in on his move to Arsenal. He will have a chance to say his goodbyes at Selhurst Park, though, as he watches from the stands. His medical at Arsenal is booked for Friday.

Eberechi Eze is close to joining Tottenham after Arsenal backed out of the race. The England international is expected to start for Crystal Palace in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad on Thursday before sealing a £60m move to Spurs.

Fredrikstad, who are coached by Andreas Hagen, currently sit in eighth place in the Norwegian top flight through 18 games. They have dropped down from the qualifying rounds of the Europa League after losing to Danish side Midtjylland and into this play-off for the group stages of the Conference League.

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner confirmed Eberechi Eze will not play for the Premier League club against Fredrikstad in the UEFA Conference League play-off on Friday (IST) with the forward set to join Arsenal.

Eberechi Eze will not play for Crystal Palace in their Europa Conference League playoff game against Fredrikstad ahead of his move to Arsenal. There had been some doubt over whether the attacking midfielder would feature for the Eagles on Thursday night.

When asked if Palace can recover if they lose both Eze and Guehu, Henderson added: "100%. We have lost players before and we survived through that. And we brought the best times to this football club.

Oliver Glasner has insisted both Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi will start in Crystal Palace's Conference League play-off first leg at home to Fredrikstad on Thursday.The pair have been linked with moves to two of Palace's Premier League rivals -- Eze to Tottenham and Guehi to Liverpool -- and their respective futures could still be up for debate when Palace welcome Norwegian side Fredrikstad to Selhurst Park.

Tottenham Hotspur consultant Fabio Paratici was at Stamford Bridge today for the Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.The
