USA's Chris Richards Removed by Stretcher in Crystal Palace Game
- During the Carabao Cup quarter-final at the Emirates, Richards required a stretcher after 74 minutes and was replaced in the 75th-minute substitution.
- After contesting a header with Gabriel Jesus in the 69th minute, Chris Richards landed heavily, went to the turf favouring his right ankle, and trainers removed his shoe as blood showed on his sock.
- Palace medics treated Chris Richards on the turf before he was removed, with Glasner saying, `He got a knock on his foot and had to be stitched, but it doesn't look so bad`; the club medical report is pending.
- Crystal Palace now face selection headaches for Sunday and New Year's Day fixtures as Oliver Glasner said Chris Richards is unlikely for Tottenham Hotspur but hopeful for Fulham, with Nathaniel Clyne as a bench option.
- With six months until the 2026 World Cup, Richards' fitness is now a concern for the USMNT as his injury adds to worries after Tyler Adams' torn MCL, though Richards' issue may be less severe.
