Despite Palace\u2019s 2-1 defeat away at Everton<\/a> before the break, Oliver Glasner finds his side in 6th place of the Premier League table<\/a>, compared to the Cherries in 4th.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s been a busy international break for both teams who\u2019ve seen key players jet off across the world.<\/p>\n Jean-Philippe Mateta scored his first goal for France<\/a> in what is his first call-up to the side, whilst Marc Guehi has starred for England and Yeremy Pino for Spain.<\/p>\n Meanwhile back in South London, Glasner has been casting his eye over some of the club\u2019s younger talents.<\/p>\n In the absence of England goalkeeper Dean Henderson, three of Palace\u2019s academy<\/a> goalkeepers have been invited to train with the first-team, including summer signing Harry Lee.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old joined from Exeter City this summer and has been featuring in the Premier League 2 this season, with one clean sheet in four games for the Eagles reserves.<\/p>\n Jack Mason, the 17-year-old U18 goalkeeper is also training with the first-team, having been at Palace since the age of 13, and the 15-year-old Luca Benetton is also training with the first-team too, making huge steps forward for the young trio.<\/p>\n The Crystal Palace gems to keep an eye on in 2026<\/p>\n As the new year approaches, there\u2019ll be plenty of Crystal Palace gems looking to make their mark at Palace and get their names into contention for Glasner\u2019s first-team.<\/p>\n The young trio mentioned before may well be, Lee especially at 20 years old. There\u2019s also the likes of Hindolo Mustapha who\u2019s struggling on loan at Nurnberg<\/a>, but who could return to Palace in January and maybe even find himself a spot in the first-team instead of going out on loan again.<\/p>\n![\"Harry](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2231990126-1024x683.jpg\")
