Omo, na wah oh! Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner don enter serious wahala as dem prepare for match wey go happen on Thursday. Dem go face Finnish side KuPS for UEFA Conference League, and this one na the last match for di league phase.

Palace dey stand for ninth position for table, and dem need to pull a strong show to secure top-eight so dem fit advance straight to di round of 16 wey go happen for March. But e no easy because dem dey juggle this match with di Premier League clash wey dey come against Leeds United on Saturday and di Carabao Cup quarter-final against Arsenal on Tuesday next week.

Na serious mama put for Glasner, as im dey think say whether to send in full squad to battle for Europa or follow di strategy wey go prioritize league and cup. E fit even mean say young players go get chance to shine against KuPS, as dem don dey struggle to win matches this season.

Injuries don scatter ogbonge plans, with Kamada and Munoz dey sidelined, plus Sarr don go represent Senegal for Africa Cup of Nations wey dey start this weekend. Even di young boys wey for bench dey chop injury, just like easy soup wey too much pepper dey.

But make we reason di young players wey fit step up: Mofe Jemide na 19-year old center-back wey don shine for under-21 team and don play for England. George King, only 18, fit also shine for midfield/defense. Then, we get Kaden Rodney, wey don get first taste of senior football, plus Justin Devenny wey don dey komot as wing-back. Dem all dey ready to show say dem fit carry di load for short notice.

Glasner don talk say e no dey worry if dem need to play knockout qualification for February, but di rotation wey e plan fit cause wahala for dem. E no easy to run dis kind schedule as di risk of injuries dey higher, and e fit affect performance.

As dem dey prepare for dis match, e clear say Palace go try much to balance di squad while still grinding for points. Na serious game, but if dem fit use di young boys sabi, dem fit still carry di day and get back to winning ways. Omo, wetin go happen next? Everybody dey watch….
