Palace players retain '100% full faith' in Glasner - Henderson

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson has warned that any of his team-mates looking to plot a move away from the club "need to be very careful".

With manager Oliver Glasner set to depart at the end of the season and heroes of last season's FA Cup triumph Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi already having moved on, a summer of change is expected at Selhurst Park.

However, Henderson, who saved a penalty in the late win over Wolves at the weekend, believes it would be dangerous for any player to look beyond their immediate Palace future.

"They certainly shouldn't be [thinking of their next move] and if they have they need to be very careful because if you don't put the performances in then, ultimately, you don't get the move," he said in a news conference before Thursday's Conference League second leg against Zrinjski Mostar.

"I'm not aware of it, but I would suggest they should be careful if they are thinking like that."

Glasner's future has cast a cloud over Palace in recent weeks, with the Austrian not ruling out leaving before the end of the campaign.

However, Hederson emphasised the squad retain "100% full faith" in their manager, adding: "We want the journey to continue in the Conference League."

Some supporters have voiced their dissatisfaction at both Glasner and the club's hierarchy, and a banner was unveiled on Sunday reading: "Opportunities missed – board inept. Fans disrespected – Glasner finished."

"It's so important that the fans get behind the team, but we've got to give something back as well," Henderson added when asked about the dynamic between the supporters and squad.

"It's been a difficult period and the players have to take a lot of responsibility. We've got to do better.

"When it comes to the Premier League, you have to earn the right to win games of football.

"We have to keep trying to build the momentum, and it begins to get easier once you are in the rhythm of winning games of football.

"That's what we've been working towards, and it's the message I keep giving to get the confidence back."
