The Eagles are set to take part in the biggest match in the club's recent history, but now face an anxious wait over the fitness of one of their most influential players.\n\nWharton, who has been a revelation since joining from Blackburn Rovers, has become an integral part of Oliver Glasner's midfield engine. His ability to break up play and distribute from deep has been pivotal in Palace's European run. Without him, the team would lose a crucial link between defence and attack, dramatically altering their game plan.\n\nReports from Sky Sports indicate that the injury occurred during training earlier this week. While the exact nature of the problem has not been disclosed, sources close to the club describe it as a \"scare\" that could keep him out of the showpiece event. The medical team is working around the clock to assess the extent, but his participation hangs in the balance.\n\nThe timing could not be worse for Palace, who are chasing their first major European trophy in club history. The Conference League final represents a golden opportunity to write their names in folklore and secure a place in next season's Europa League. Losing Wharton would significantly diminish their chances against a formidable opponent.\n\nGlasner now faces a selection dilemma. Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma are the natural replacements, but neither offers the same blend of tenacity and vision. The manager might be forced to adjust his formation, potentially sacrificing some attacking impetus to shore up the midfield. Such a shift could disrupt the rhythm that has carried Palace this far.\n\nSupporters have taken to social media to express their concern, with many calling for calm but also fearing the worst. The fanbase knows how critical Wharton has been; his absence was felt keenly in the few league matches he missed earlier in the season. The consensus is that his presence on the pitch is non-negotiable if Palace are to triumph.\n\nThe Eagles' road to the final has been nothing short of remarkable. They navigated a tough group stage and then eliminated seasoned European campaigners in the knockout rounds. Wharton played a starring role in those victories, including a man-of-the-match performance in the semi-final second leg. To lose him now would be cruel.\n\nThe opponent, while not officially confirmed yet, will pose a stern test. Regardless of who emerges from the other semi-final, Palace will need all their key men fit. The psychological blow of Wharton's potential absence could also affect team morale, adding extra pressure on the remaining squad members to step up.\n\nClub insiders remain hopeful that Wharton will be passed fit, citing his quick recovery from minor knocks in the past. However, the decision may come down to a late fitness test on the morning of the final. Until then, the Eagles must prepare for both scenarios.\n\nIn the event of Wharton missing out, the onus will fall on the likes of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise to carry the creative burden. Palace's attacking flair will need to compensate for any defensive solidity lost in midfield. It is a delicate balance that Glasner must strike.\n\nAs the final approaches, all eyes will be on the team sheet. This injury scare has cast a shadow over what should be a celebratory period for the club. The next 48 hours will be crucial in determining whether Wharton can etch his name into Palace legend or watch from the sidelines.\n\nBased on reporting from Sky Sports.","news","Crystal Palace
