Eberechi Eze tries new sport during Watford visit as Palace

2026-09-14 · Eberechi Eze · Player Focus

Eberechi Eze tried a new sport during a visit to Watford on 14 Sep 2026.

Eberechi Eze took part in a session of indoor rock climbing at a Watford leisure centre. The Crystal Palace midfielder swapped football boots for climbing shoes as part of a personal fitness and mental focus initiative. He spent approximately 90 minutes on the wall, attempting several routes of varying difficulty. Club sources said the activity was not part of official training but a self-directed effort to build problem-solving skills and resilience.

The Watford visit came during the international break, with Eberechi Eze having returned from England duty earlier in the week. He has not played in a competitive match since Crystal Palace's 2-1 win over Fulham on 31 Aug 2026. Manager Roy Hodgson confirmed Eberechi Eze is fully fit and available for selection ahead of the trip to Brentford on 21 Sep 2026. The winger has made three Premier League appearances this season, contributing one assist.

Crystal Palace sit 12th in the Premier League table with four points from three games. Their next five fixtures include matches against Brentford, Manchester United, and Newcastle United. Eberechi Eze is expected to start against Brentford if he passes a final fitness check on 20 Sep 2026. His creativity in the final third remains a key part of Hodgson's attacking plans, particularly in breaking down low-block defences.
