PalacePicked for bench
Sosa (strain) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Brighton.
Analysis: Sosa was expected to be an option Sunday and is with his team, as the defender earns a surly spot on the bench. That said, he has on;y started in one of his six appearances this season, likely to remain in more of a depth role.
Option for Sunday
Sosa (strain) is an option for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Borna is back."
Analysis: Sosa is not going to miss more time as he deals with a strain, as the defender ends a one-game absence. This will give the club another option off the bench, as the defender has yet to start all season. He should remain more of a depth option, with only 53 minutes of play in five appearances.
Out with minor injury
Sosa has a minor muscle injury and is out for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Borna has a minor muscle injury, so he should train with us next week, but he's not available."
Analysis: Sosa suffered a minor muscle injury this week and is hitting the sidelines, with the defender not an option for at least a match. However, he is planning to train with the club next week, so he is not set to miss out on much time. Either way, it is a minor loss for the club, earning one start in six appearances this season.
Selected for bench
Sosa (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Fulham.
Analysis: Sosa was a possibility for Sunday and has made the call after a few games out, with the defender an option from the bench. He has yet to start in his one appearance this season, only playing a minute thus far, and is likely to remain in a rotational role moving forward.
Could return against Fulham
Sosa (undisclosed) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Fulham, coach Oliver Glasner said in the press conference, according to Bobby Manzi. "Borna could return to the matchday squad against Fulham, which gives us another option."
Analysis: Sosa missed the last two games of Palace due to injury but could be back available for Sunday's clash against the Cottagers. This is great news for the Eagles since he will add an option in the backline in a tough period with many games, although he featured only one single minute this season in the Premier League, likely seeing limited playing time moving forward.
Hopeful to face Fulham
Sosa (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Burnley and is eyeing a return against Fulham on Sunday, according to manager Olivier Glasner. "Borna is again not available, but we hope to have him against Fulham. But all others who were involved in Sunday's game are ready."
Analysis: Sosa will remain out another game after he was absent for their last match, with the defender not having recovered from his undisclosed issues. This is a minimal loss for the club still, as he has only appeared off the bench once all season, mainly going unused. However, he is eyeing a return next contest, with the club making a quick turnaround to face Fulham on Sunday.
Remains out
Sosa (knock) will remain out for Sunday's clash against Manchester United, coach Oliver Glasner said in the press conference. "Borna will miss this game again."
Analysis: Sosa suffered a knock during Monday's training session and hasn't yet fully recovered from the issue since he won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Manchester United. The defender is only a depth option for Palace this season, therefore his absence will not impact the starting squad.
Out with knock
Sosa (knock) won't be an option for Thursday's clash with Strasbourg in the Conference League, per manager Oliver Glasner."We have one player who couldn't travel, [Borna] Sosa. He got a knock in Monday's training and he will miss the game tomorrow.
Analysis: Sosa will miss Thursday's clash in the Conference League, a disappointment considering that's where most of his minutes have come this season. The defender is a depth option at wing-back and can spell Tyrick Mitchell or Daniel Munoz. He will hope to return for a Sunday clash with Manchester United back in domestic action.
