What happened. Crystal Palace head coach Pierre Sage says Ismaila Sarr needs time to process the collapse of his proposed move to Liverpool, and he remains out with a groin injury.

Sarr was Palace's top scorer last season.
He has missed Premier League defeats to Everton and Manchester City.
Palace tried to sign Malick Fofana, who chose Sunderland instead.

“He has to digest for sure because it's a dream for a lot of players to play with this kind of club.”
— Pierre Sage

Sarr will miss Saturday's match at Fulham; Palace and Fulham both seek their first league point.
