IK Oddevold Overview

Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton has insisted he will not "sit and cry" after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup. Despite a fine individual campaign at Selhurst Park, the 22-year-old midfielder was the high-profile absentee from the 26-man travelling party announced last week.

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has revealed his frustration at missing the initial dressing-room celebrations following the Eagles' historic Conference League triumph. The England international was immediately pulled away for a random UEFA doping test after the final whistle, temporarily delaying his plans to celebrate their continental silverware with team-mates.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has hailed his club's monumental achievement after the Eagles secured their first European trophy in the Conference League final. A narrow second-half victory over Spanish side Rayo Vallecano has not only delivered historic silverware but also guaranteed the South London club an immediate passage to the Europa League next season.
