According to recent reports, Wharton underwent scans on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. The results indicate that he will spend most of September on the sidelines. This means he will not be ready to return for the club's European clash at the end of the month.
Wharton will also miss several important games, including matches against Sunderland, Millwall in the EFL Cup, West Ham United, and Liverpool. These games are crucial for Crystal Palace, who have won only one of their first three matches under manager Oliver Glasner.
Team-mate Ismaila Sarr is also facing a tough time, as he will miss Senegal's qualifying matches against DR Congo and South Sudan. This is a significant blow for manager Oliver Glasner, who must now find a way to work around the team's injuries.
Manager Oliver Glasner expressed concern about the muscle injuries suffered by Wharton and Sarr. He stated, "We had to pay the bill today with two muscle injuries. Hopefully, it's not too serious. We will make scans tomorrow so they can't go to the national teams and then let's see."
