This week, we’re reviewing the season so far for five of Crystal Palace’s most influential players, explaining their role in the last 29 matches and what to expect from them in the upcoming nine. Up next, Gary Cahill...
Gary Cahill arrived in SE25 with a wealth of experience and accomplishment behind him, bringing a pedigree few footballers can claim to have.
But, at 33-years-old and featuring only occasionally in the season before with Chelsea, the centre-back was tasked with maintaining his ability as one of the squad's oldest members.
Having played 20 of 29 league matches (missing most through injury) for the Eagles before the season's suspension, and earning acclaim at the heart of Palace's defence, Cahill more than proved his position as a key figure in the Eagles' squad.
