Sawt Falasteen - Palace transfer targets Eze and Guehi to start in European tie

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.

Palace manager Glasner was adamant he had every right to expect complete commitment from players under contract.

"It's always the right of a club and the duty of a player to give 100 percent as long as he is under contract," Glasner told a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

"Before Chelsea, I think many of you were surprised that Marc and Ebs started and played almost the whole game.

"Most of you will be surprised that they will start again tomorrow because of all the rumours. But again, they are committed."

Glasner, who has guided Palace to FA Cup and Community Shield glory, added: "They are committed to the team, they have a contract here, they played a crucial part that we could be so successful, and they will play a crucial part as long as they are here.

"Because they are good, they are committed to the team, and when one of the players leave, which I don't know at the moment, then they want to leave as players who always gave 100 percent for Crystal Palace.

"This is what they did since they signed, and this is what we expect from them until the end of their contract, whenever this is."

Palace captain Guehi is under contract until next year, while Eze's deal expires in 2027.

"This noise, these rumours, it's not just for three days, it's been written for weeks," said Glasner.

"They played the Community Shield and we won, and they played at Chelsea, and we drew, and they will play against Fredrikstad, and then let's see."
