Mark Kennedy Rumours and Transfers
17 08 2007
Crystal Palace will be without midfielder Ben Watson for their 1st home game of the season against Leicester.
Watson damaged ankle ligaments in the Carling Cup 1st round defeat at Bristol Rovers in midweek, and expects to be on the sidelines for up to 2 weeks.
Palace manager Peter Taylor is probably going to make changes to his starting line up after leaving out several 1st team regulars for the game against Rovers.
Goalkeeper Julian Speroni, defenders Matt Lawrence and Leon Cort, midfielder Mark Kennedy and forwards Jamie Scowcroft, who scored a hat trick in the 4-1 triumph at Southampton last weekend, and Clinton Morrison should all be recalled.
Defender Jeff Hughes (groin), midfielder Carl Fletcher and winger Paul Ifill (both hamstring) remain doubtful.
Leicester manager Martin Allen adds 3 new players to his squad.
New transfers Clive Clarke and Marton Fulop will travel to Selhurst Park following their arrivals from Sunderland whilst Patrick Kisnorbo is available for the 1st time this season after a 2 match suspension incurred for his red card against Wolves on the final day of last term.
Clarke and Kisnorbo would go straight into the side as James Chambers is still struggling with the calf injury he sustained in the opening day defeat to Blackpool and Darren Kenton is doubtful after hurting his ribs at Accrington in the Carling Cup.
Midfielder Jonathan Hayes (thigh) and forward Elvis Hammond (ankle) are also likely to miss out.
