19/11/2024 Raymond 0

Luis Palma may have become a forgotten man at Celtic Park, but he’s never voiced frustration with the club or his manager. Despite playing less than three hours of football this season, the 24-year-old winger remains determined to prove himself. Recently, he delivered a superb performance for Honduras, scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Mexico, dedicating his goals to his late grandmother. It’s clear Palma has faced personal challenges, yet he continues to show resilience, stating, “The storm will pass, and calm always comes.”

While his technical style of play doesn’t align perfectly with Brendan Rodgers’ demands for relentless pressing, Palma’s ability to create chances when given the ball is undeniable. The hectic weeks ahead could provide him with the opportunity to either reignite his Celtic career or move closer to a new challenge. What’s certain is that, unlike some, Palma won’t be throwing in the towel—he’s focused on working hard, whatever the outcome.

Sunderland’s international break has come at the perfect time, with Millwall looming as a tough test next Saturday. The team will be missing several key players, including Jobe Bellingham, Alan Browne, and Patrick Roberts, but there is hope with the return of Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Ballard. Millwall’s physical, high-ball tactics have caused problems in the past, but this season, Sunderland has shown greater resilience against teams that try to bully them. Despite injuries and suspensions, manager Régis Le Bris has kept the team unbeaten in eight games, and the break gives him valuable time to prepare for a strong away performance.

Stoke City will be without Wouter Burger for their upcoming match against Queens Park Rangers after the midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season. Burger was cautioned for dissent following a controversial decision in the match against Millwall, where referee Will Finnie failed to award Stoke a penalty for a foul on Burger by Jake Cooper. Although Finnie later apologized for the error, the yellow card stands, leaving Burger suspended for the November 23 fixture. Additionally, three other Stoke players—Ben Gibson, Ben Wilmot, and Andrew Moran—are walking a yellow card tightrope, with each one needing to avoid another booking before December 7 to prevent a suspension.
