EPL: Gallagher to receive special welcome at Crystal Palace

Ahead of Crystal Palace match vs Chelsea this weekend, the club’s manager Patrick Vieira has opened up one player from the Blues side he is open to seeing at Selhurst Park.

Vieira named the player to be Conor Gallagher, who he said will receive a special welcome if he returns with Chelsea on Saturday.

Recall that Gallagher spent last season on loan with Crystal Palace before he returned to Stamford Bridge.

Vieira said: “I don’t have any doubt about the reception he will receive.

“It’s been challenging for him because he hasn’t played as much as he was expecting. He has to keep fighting and showing the manager that he wants to get into the team.

“We’re looking forward to the game. We will be ready for that and we’ve worked well over the last couple of weeks.”

It is not known if Gallagher will make it to Graham Potter’s squad that will play against the Eagles.

We will have to wait to see how things would turn out for Gallagher and Crystal Palace.
