Daichi Kamada
29-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kamada was a bit of a disappointment in his first season with Crystal Palace after linking up again with manager Oliver Glasner, who got the best out of him offensively with Eintracht Frankfurt. He finished last season with no goal contributions in 34 appearances (15 starts), largely playing in a midfield pivot instead of his preferred role in attacking midfield. While his playing time increased later in the season, it was mostly in a deeper role that didn't lead to much offensively. For him to produce goals or assists, he'll need to play a different role in the squad.
No bad reaction after return
Kamada returned in Thursday's clash against Fredrikstad and had no bad reaction after the game, coach Oliver Glasner said in the press conference. "With Daichi [Kamada], big credit to our fitness and medical depratments: the diagnosis was four to six weeks [injured after the Community Shield], but he could play yesterday, with no bad reaction."
ANALYSIS
Kamada returned well ahead of his initial schedule from his knee injury as he played 89 minutes in Thursday's clash against Fredrikstad and had no adverse reaction after the game. This is good news for Palace as he is back fit and available following the recent departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, which leaves him with a greater role in the attacking midfield under coach Oliver Glasner.
