Yoro, 20, conceded the penalty that put Palace ahead and was taken off early in the second half. Visibly upset on the bench and still frustrated after full-time, he was consoled by Mason Mount. Amorim said the support reflects the team’s strong culture. “He makes a mistake and then he struggles because he’s too young and wants to do everything so well,” Amorim said. “He cannot…

The German forward, sidelined since August after knee surgery, suffered a setback during rehab and “could not go to the next level,” delaying his return.
