Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze and midfielder Adam Wharton are both set to be out for a month with their injuries, says manager Oliver Glasner.
Both players went off during the Eagles’ midweek Carabao Cup last-16 win against Aston Villa.
Wharton is to undergo surgery for a groin issue while forward Eberechi Eze is out with a hamstring injury.
“It will be very ambitious to have [Eze] back after the [mid-November] international break, but I know we have a great medical department and he will work quite hard, so let’s see,” said Glasner.
“We took the final decision [on Wharton], he will have surgery. He tried [training] but the pain is too much and then it makes no sense. He has really struggled in the last weeks and months.
“So now we took the decision to have the surgery, and we hope to have him back after maybe four weeks.”
Palace, who secured their first Premier League win of the season by beating Tottenham 1-0 last weekend, are away at fellow strugglers Wolves on Saturday.
They will also be without Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma until at least the international break, which starts on 11 November, because of a hamstring issue.
Glasner added: “Many managers are talking about the same issues, and especially when we look at our injured players – all who played a long tournament in the summer, having no holidays, having no pre-season and then many, many games.
“There is a moment when you have to pay the bill, and we had to pay it the last one, two, three weeks, but it is how it is and we are still a strong squad.”

“The Black Beast” won’t compete Saturday after all.
Late Friday, less than 24 hours before he was scheduled to step into the cage, Derrick Lewis was removed from his bout vs. Jhonata Diniz due to medical reasons, the promotion announced Friday evening.
The heavyweight fight was scheduled to take place Saturday at UFC Fight Night 246 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Lewis (28-12 MMA, 19-10 UFC) was not present for Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins – an unusual occurrence for a fighter. UFC officials stated the fight was still scheduled to take place as planned at that time, but the bout has since been called off.
The cause of the medical issues is unknown, although the promotion said it was not related to Lewis’ weight-cut. He tipped the scales at the heavyweight limit of 266 pounds during Friday’s official weigh-ins.
It’s unclear what the next move is for Diniz (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who was expecting his first high-profile fight vs. Lewis.
With the cancellation, UFC Fight Night 246 continues with 13 bouts as follows:

Derrick Lewis is no longer competing at UFC Edmonton.
The heavyweight was forced out of his fight scheduled against Jhonata Diniz with the bout now scrapped from the card set to take place on Saturday night at Rogers Place.
Lewis was forced out of the contest due to a non-weight cut related medical issue, per UFC officials.
While Lewis did appear at the official weigh-ins on Friday morning he wasn’t at the ceremonial weigh-ins later on Friday, which raised suspicions about his readiness for the fight. A few hours later, UFC officials confirmed that Lewis was being pulled from the event and his fight with Diniz was cancelled.
It’s an unfortunate turn of events for Lewis, who was looking to build on a win over Rodrigo Nascimento back in May as he extended his record for most knockouts in UFC history with 15 overall.
Meanwhile, Diniz misses out on the chance to face an established veteran and former title challenger in Lewis after starting out his UFC career with two straight wins while amassing a perfect 8-0 record overall.
The UFC Edmonton card now moves forward with 13 total bouts, although the UFC hasn’t announced which preliminary card bout is expected to take the main card slot vacated by Lewis vs. Diniz.
