Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner confirmed that Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi will start Thursday night's Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad.
Despite persistent transfer speculation linking Eze to Tottenham and Guehi to Liverpool, Glasner stated both players are committed and expected to give 100 per cent while under contract.
Glasner expressed surprise at the media's focus on their potential departures, highlighting their strong performance in the recent draw against Chelsea.
Guehi's contract with Palace runs until next summer, while Eze's deal extends to 2027, with his reported £68million release clause having expired last Friday.
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson echoed his manager's sentiments, praising Eze and Guehi's professionalism and dedication to the team.
