Solid return in UECL final
Wharton (ankle) took one shot (one on target), delivered four crosses (one accurate) and created two scoring chances in Wednesday's UEFA Conference League finale against Rayo Vallecano.
Analysis: Wharton helped his side end the season with a title in the European tournament, showing he's fully recovered from the knock he picked up in the last Premier League game. The midfielder completed a strong campaign, recording one goal and six assists over 49 matches played in all competitions. He had his playing time managed toward the end, taking part in a rotation with Daichi Kamada and Will Hughes. Still, Wharton managed to stay productive as one of the team's main set-piece takers.
Traveling for final
Wharton (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Rayo Vallecano, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But they were available today in training, and that's a good sign. We still have 36 hours before the gam,e and the medical department will work hard [to get them ready]. They will work hard until late into the night. I will talk to them again tomorrow morning, and if the player doesn't feel 100% fit, then they won't start. They have pain, but I think many of the players have pain at the end of a long season. Everybody wants to participate. So the final decision will be taken tomorrow."
Analysis: Wharton had to leave the field in the season finale with an ankle injury, but appears to be set for play in the Conference League final, as he is traveling with the team. This is a major return for the club, as he is not only a starter but a key playmaker in the middle of the pitch. If fully fit, he will be tasked with starting from the jump, a bright sign for the Eagles as they head into the final.
