Crystal Palace head coach Pierre Sage highlighted Ismaïla Sarr’s return to the pitch in the Europa League match against Lech Poznań. Crystal Palace won 4-0, while Sarr played for the first time after a lengthy injury.
Sarr’s return
Sage said that fans love the Senegalese footballer and that he deserves such treatment. According to the coach, returning to action after a lengthy injury is a difficult process, so the team’s main aim is to gradually bring the player back into matches.
The manager expects Sarr to gradually improve his form as his playing time increases. Sage also said that he watched recordings of the footballer’s goals in last season’s Conference League that day. In his view, if the forward can show similar goalscoring form again, it will be very positive for the team.

At the same time, the coach pointed to the need for greater consistency in possession. According to him, in two periods of the game, the players lost the ball too quickly while trying to develop attacks immediately, whereas the team needs better control.
