  • Still searching for time

    Doucoure has yet to appear in a single match to begin the 2026/27 season.

  • In contention against Ipswich

    Doucoure (knee) has returned to training and is in contention for Saturday's clash against Ipswich Town after illness delayed his senior comeback, according to coach Pierre Sage. "Cheick trained yesterday and this morning. All will be good for him. He was a little ill, but no, he's fine."

  • Set for senior return

    Doucoure (knee) is set to make his first senior appearance in nearly 20 months during Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with Middlesbrough, according to coach Pierre Sage, per The Athletic. "This is the first step and he will play a little bit on Tuesday for sure."

  • Features with U21s

    Doucoure played 65 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 U21 match against Arsenal.

  • Fit to start, could be handled carefully

    Doucoure is expected to play a role in the opening stages of the season following a long-term injury absence, with coach Pierre Sage saying "He's able to start. He didn't play much during the last two seasons so we have to consider him within this situation. When you play, you have to be confident, understand this moment is only a step and in a few moments you will be the player you were two years ago. That's why we will take our time with him.", reports Bobby Manzi of Daily Mail Sport, per Palace Report.
