Struggling with groin

Ward is in doubt for Sunday's clash with West Ham due to a groin injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner."Then we have [Joel] Ward, who also had issues this week with his groin so we will see tomorrow, and Will Hughes got a knock yesterday in training, so he couldn't train today."
ANALYSIS
Ward wasn't reportedly dealing with any sort of injury prior to this week so it appears it's a training issue for the defender. Losing Ward would be a huge blow to an already injury-riddled Palace side, potentially forcing Nathaniel Clyne into a role at center-back. Ward was a substitute during a 1-0 win over Liverpool last time out.
