Over the past month, Crystal Palace have quietly had a changing of the guard in goal with Dean Henderson thriving in Sam Johnstone’s absence.
The goalkeeping situation at Crystal Palace is one which unlike other parts of the team is actually a well-stocked position.
Sam Johnstone came into this season as the number one and has often in his career been a really underrated keeper.
However, the club brought Dean Henderson in last summer for a fee of just £15m.
Johnstone was the number one for much of this season despite this, but as he has been out now through injury, Henderson has taken his place and has been thriving.
There are now a few factors which could suggest Johnstone might’ve already played his final game for Palace, so here they are.
Dean Henderson’s Palace form could see Johnstone unneeded
Henderson has played just five games in a row now beginning on the 16th of December. In this game, he was incredible in a 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
