Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Carabao Cup last 16 tie against Fulham at Craven Cottage (kick-off 19:45 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Crystal Palace's number one Dean Henderson is expected to make a return to the matchday squad after missing 10 consecutive games because of an ankle injury. Sage said: "I think he will play on Wednesday."
Ismaila Sarr is ruled out because of an ongoing groin injury and Jorgen Strand Larsen remains a doubt after suffering a twisted ankle in last Thursday's 2-2 draw against Besiktas.
On Strand Larsen's injury, Sage said: "We will see on Wednesday for Strand Larsen, because he received, as you saw, a tackle [against Beșiktaș], and his ankle twisted."
On Sarr's injury, Sage said: "It's difficult, because his groin is really making him struggle. We spoke together yesterday, and we took the decision to leave him out, because he needs treatment to come and help the team with 100% of his capacity."
As Palace juggle their European and domestic cup schedule, Sage said his side "need to do some rotations", but the club have to let players "recover" for forthcoming fixtures.
Although Sage will rotate some players against Fulham, the Palace boss wants to avoid unnamed players losing "rhythm".
He added: "For some of them, they need recovery, but others need to play to have the rhythm for Saturday in Tottenham. It depends on their profile."
Sage said he "always" feels the pressure in his role, as his future at the club has come under scrutiny after a poor start to the 2026-27 season.
Sage added: "The pressure is here, but inside the club, there's no noise for the moment and we just have to be focused on our hard work to come back and to create the condition of competitiveness."
After Palace's 2-0 loss against Newcastle, Sage said his side were struggling with a "mental thing", but the team had "changed a lot of things to feel better".

Here are some of your comments:
Mike: Simply calling for Sage to go will not save Palace from relegation as the root cause of the problem is Steve Parish, who has consistently failed to manage succession planning. Also, if Sage were to go, who will want the job? Any top coach would not want to risk his reputation while Parish is in charge.
Stefan: Sir Alex Ferguson in his pomp couldn't save this team from relegation. We have sold Ferrari-quality players and bought bargain basement Skodas. It's time for the chairman and his money-making cohorts to face up to the fact they have destroyed this club and the success our club enjoyed over the last two years is a distant memory. I have been a Palace supporter for 60 years and despair at where we are.
Neil: We have been woeful in the past few games especially with the two embarrassing losses. I think he should go.
Sean: What's that, Einstein? Repeating the same pattern and expecting a different outcome! This isn't getting any better, is it? For 15 minutes in the second half against Newcastle, we again completely lost our way. I honestly cannot see where the change/turn around is going to come from.

Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace fan Ollie Thomas believes Pierre Sage should be sacked and replaced by Thomas Frank before someone else hires the former Brentford and Tottenham boss.
Reflecting on the defeat to Newcastle, Ollie said: "Another sad day at Selhurst Park and another 20 minutes of utter defensive implosion has cost us.
"I think it's more evidence Pierre Sage needs to go.
"I like him as a manager and he's someone I wanted to get behind.
"When a manager plays exciting, attacking football, you're more inclined to want it to work because you're ultimately being entertained. We've played some really good football at times and our games have been entertaining, but the way we set up is not Premier League ready.
"Sage can point to a lot of issues, like the personnel in defence and the recruitment over the summer, but we should not be conceding two goals a game.
"It's costing us every game and that's on the manager. I don't see a world where our performances across 90 minutes change unless we sack Sage.
"There are some good managers available, Thomas Frank in particular is someone I would love at Palace.
"The first team to sack their manager near the bottom of the league will get Frank and they will stay up. That has to be us.
"So it's a shame, but I think Sage's time is up."
Do you agree that Sage's tenure at Palace is near the end? Or do you think he deserves more time? And if Sage isn't the right man, is Thomas Frank?
We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Newcastle.
Here are some of your comments:
Crystal Palace fans
Ken: I would like to say that Palace competed well against a very good Newcastle team, but the truth is we struggled to create anything near decent football against a pretty standard side. Embarrassing really.
Rob: The same old problems, our defence just can't manage to concentrate for a full 90 mins and we open up for opponents to score. So frustrating as we were the better team in the first half. Then after the restart our defence goes to sleep.
Keith: The team are definitely getting better after all the changes and outgoing transfers. I saw a lot of good things in the match and I am sure things will improve soon.
Lee: Poor second half, we can't defend for toffee and have no leaders. Adam Wharton isn't a captain, and players like Tyrick Mitchell, Daichi Kamada and Chris Richards are a shadow of themselves and look bereft of confidence. I can't see Pierre Sage lasting unfortunately. He's been hung out to dry by lack of investment and ambition from Steve Parish and the board, and inept player recruitment from Matt Hobbs. Both have to go if Sage does.
Newcastle fans
Samuel: A much needed win. It goes without saying that Palace have been pretty poor this season. The first half lacked a lot of quality from our side, however, the team seemed to come out with a bit more fighting spirit in the second. It's always good to see Will Osula score, the lad has a lot of potential and without a doubt needs more game time from Matthias Jaissle.
Dean: Very much a game of two halves. I was not anticipating a win at any point in the first half as we struggled to gain any control on the game. Thankfully, neither did Palace. Second half we came out more aggressive, and got a hold of the game, creating several good chances. Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Joelinton gave us that aggressive edge we've been missing, while Osula (even when not involved as much as he should be) is a threat going forward. A step in the right direction (I hope).
Richard: Well, the first half was truly awful but let's put it down to the swirling wind, shall we? Second half was basically 10 minutes of utterly turbocharged Toon blowing Palace away, and after that Palace very much looked like a team who'd played mid-week in Europe.
Simon: The first half was fairly poor with too few chances created and mistakes passing and keeping the ball. A much improved second half where we controlled the game, were defensively strong and created chances. Great assist from Jacob Murphy and it was unfortunate that Joe Willock's goal was just offside. A good performance which will give confidence, which hopefully will show in upcoming games.

Image source, Getty ImagesPierre Sage struck a defiant tone during his post-match media conference as he addressed questions about his future for 20 minutes.
"I don't have to convince the people around the club. I just have to convince the players to do their best to compete and to continue to improve," he added when asked further about his job.
"After that, this kind of decision is for the chairman, to the owners, this kind of person.
"For me, the noise around the team, the noise around the club, it's only noise."
Crystal Palace have just seven points from their first eight league games in the post-Glasner era.
After losing to Everton and Manchester City in their first two matches, Palace won at Fulham before losing at home to newly promoted Ipswich.
They secured a rare clean sheet in a goalless draw at Leeds before coming from behind to beat Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park on 11 October.
That was their last win.
They have since lost at his former club Lyon in the Europa League, and Brighton, before drawing 2-2 against Besiktas in Istanbul on Thursday.
However, patience is clearly wearing thin after fans reacted to the latest defeat by Newcastle.
In addition, Palace have the worst defensive record in the Premier League after conceding 19 goals in eight games.
Their next Premier League match is at improving Tottenham next Saturday, before hosting Liverpool on 8 November going into the international break.
Palace's first game back is at fellow strugglers Coventry City on 21 November.
Will Sage still be in charge by then?
French football expert Julien Laurens said Sage needed to be more ruthless.
"He's a lovely guy. He's maybe a little bit too nice at times," Laurens, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, added.
"Remember when Crystal Palace beat Fulham earlier in the season? That was Palace's first win of the season and he felt sorry for Fulham.
"You don't feel sorry in this league. This Premier League is ruthless. It's the top, top level. This is the best league in the world.
"You can't feel sorry for the opposition you have just beaten, especially when this is your first win and you needed it badly.
"But this is the kind of guy that he is."
Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage on full-time boos after defeat against Newcastle: "The boos are normal because we don't have the result. The noise is the consequence of the result of the team, and at the moment we don't have what we expect.
"Inside, we are just really focused on solutions. How to be better, how to create the conditions to compete, and we will continue our work, and there's no noise inside, if you want.
"It's normal that people lose patience when you lose, because everybody wants to win. Today it was not the case.
"I don't have to convince the people around the club. I just have to convince the players to do their best to compete and to continue to improve.
"After that, this kind of decision is for the chairman, to the owners, this kind of person.
"For me, the noise around the team, the noise around the club, it's only noise."
Sage revealed he did speak to Palace chairman Steve Parish this week, but not about his employment, just "today's game, the condition of the team, and how we built our game-plan to compete today".
He added: "But we didn't speak about the subject you're speaking about."
Pressed as to whether he believes the players and Palace hierarchy still have faith in him to turn things around, Sage replied: "I think (so). The question is 'Do you think?' and my reply is yes, I think."

Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace actually started this game well but it was the same familiar outcome after failing to make their dominance count.
They are 17th in the table on seven points from eight games, while they have now conceded 12 goals in their past four league and European matches.
The new manager always had big shoes to fill following the departure of Oliver Glasner, who delivered an FA Cup, Conference League title and Community Shield.
There were boos at the full-time whistle and it remains to be seen how much time Palace will give the former Lens boss, with this result coming a week after the humiliating 5-0 defeat at fierce rivals Brighton.
Palace have two away London derbies next - at Fulham in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, and at improving Tottenham on Saturday.

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage's future appears to be in some doubt but his critics seem to have forgotten that they are 14th in the table, when the Eagles finished 15th last season under Oliver Glasner.
Yes, Palace had a heavy defeat at Brighton last week and it doesn't help it was at the hands of their big rivals, but it is not like Sage has got one point from his first seven games. They are leaking a few goals, but there are reasons for that.
There has been huge change at Selhurst Park in recent months, with some key players leaving, especially at the back. Others have stayed but are still unhappy, and Sage has had a lot to contend with.
Palace played in Turkey on Thursday night, which won't have helped their preparation for this game, but I still feel like they will get something against Newcastle.
There has been a lot of change at the Magpies too, but the thing that worries me most about Matthias Jaissle's side is that they are so open.
"Chaotic" was the word I used to describe them against Aston Villa last week.
Villa are always very well structured in the way they play but they got chances against Newcastle just by persevering with their build-up play.
If Newcastle don't get their press quite right again here, then Palace will cause them problems too - I definitely don't see this game as being one where defences are on top.
Sutton's prediction: 2-2
Matthew Hobbs
BBC Sport journalist
Crystal Palace and Newcastle United face off at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a battle between two teams who concede too many goals.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into their meeting in south London.
The comprehensive nature of Crystal Palace's 5-0 loss at Brighton last weekend was such that manager Pierre Sage subsequently said he felt shamed by the performance when issuing a post-match apology to supporters.
Palace are not the first team to fall to Brighton's impressively fluid football this season, but conceding five goals on the south coast underlines a worrying early-season trend for the Eagles.
They have let in the most goals of any side so far, while 17 goals conceded after seven matches is their highest tally at this stage of a Premier League campaign.
Sage's side have shipped at least two goals in 11 of their past 13 league outings and have faced the most shots (125) and most shots on target (43) of any top-flight team this season.
Palace also have the highest expected goals total against (14.8) in 2026-27, evidencing the quality of chances opposition sides have been able to create.
The key question for Sage is how best to address defensive deficiencies. He opted to award 18-year-old centre-back Honest Ahanor, on loan from Atalanta, a second Premier League start at Amex Stadium, but he was substituted after 53 minutes.
Axel Disasi replaced Ahanor for the Europa League fixture at Besiktas on Thursday night and while Palace's overall performance was much improved, they still conceded two goals and could not find a winner against 10 men.
First-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson could feature for the first time since the 3-2 win at Fulham on 5 September after returning to training on Monday, but collective improvement will surely be needed if Palace are to follow up the 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest with another home victory.
Newcastle United have defensive issues of their own to address, having conceded four goals in each of their past two away matches during defeats at Leeds United and Coventry City. The Magpies have not done so in three successive away matches in 97 years.
Newcastle have lost three of their past four league matches, including a 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa at St James' Park last weekend when they also laboured in front of goal, recording 16 attempts but only one shot on target.
Yoane Wissa had seven shots without hitting the target against Unai Emery's side in another frustrating individual performance.
The DR Congo international has scored one goal from 18 shots so far this season, at a conversion rate of just 5.56%. Of all Premier League players to have found the net at least once, only two have a lower shot conversion rate than Wissa.
Yoane Wissa has struggled in front of goal since joining Newcastle from Brentford
And Newcastle also have to contend with a poor record at Selhurst Park. They have won only one of their past 11 league matches at Palace (D6, L4), a 2-0 victory under Steve Bruce six years ago.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Thursday's draw with Besiktas in the Europa League.
Here are some of your comments:
Keith: Decent performance. Better finishing (and monitoring of the offside line) in the first half would have led to a comfortable win. Two missed tackles on their second was costly.
Bob: I thought Palace deserved better than the hard-fought 2-2 draw in Turkey. We should also have had a penalty awarded when Kamada was fouled inside the box. This was a hostile crowd, but Palace held their nerve and Sage can be proud of his team. Let's hope we can put on the same spirit against Newcastle on Sunday.
Phil: Still need to stop conceding. To score twice is encouraging but some clean sheets are needed.
Dave: Best performance by far this season (albeit against a poor side). Canvot on the left of defence and Pino really good. Mateta was outstanding up front and Wharton looked full of confidence. If this continues against Newcastle, Sage keeps his job.
Andy: Well done, Sage. Change has been seen this season and with the two leaders of the back three being sold last January and in the summer window and not replaced, it shows you still have the backing of the players. Great improvement from Sunday. After Brighton's free-flowing goals it was good to see we can defend.
Adrian: One of those games where, for some of the time, we couldn't finish and the defence went to sleep. Otherwise, we'd have won by several goals - plus, we were also up against the referee.
