O'Neil on team news, Emersonn and facing Palace

Ipswich boss Gary O’Neil has been speaking to the media before Saturday’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (kick-off 15:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

O’Neil confirmed everyone is back in full training apart from midfielder Jack Taylor. Midfielder Azor Matusiwa and left winger Jaden Philogene, both yet to play a minute this season, are both back involved with the main group.
The Ipswich head coach added Philogene, who scored 13 goals for the Blues in all competitions last season, is ready to start, but Matusiwa is likely to only be among the substitutes.
On team fitness: “We’ve had a tough pre-season, some tough games, a cup game in the middle, so to go to Crystal Palace with basically a fully fit squad is a testament to the work that’s been done by the players to get themselves in good shape and by the medical and fitness team.”
Having signed Brazilian striker Emersonn in the summer, with the 22-year-old scoring on his competitive debut against Sunderland in Town’s Premier League opener, O’Neil said he has been “really impressed me” and added: “I expected Emmy to take a while to get going, especially at Premier League level. He’s done exceptionally well.”
On highly-rated Eagles midfielder Adam Wharton: “An unbelievable talent, a fantastic passer of the ball. He’ll be part of what we need to deal with. You don’t win a European competition without having good players.”
