Resumes training after absence
Richards was absent from the first two days of the USMNT camp due to personal reasons, but has returned and is cleared for training following a precautionary evaluation, according to Steven Goff of Yahoo Sports.
Analysis: Richards was not with the USMNT as they started their camp for the international break, absent for two sessions due to personal reasons. He returned but was not welcomed to training immediately, needing to pass a precautionary evaluation before he was allowed to resume activities. The good news for any fantasy owners is that he should be fit to resume action with Palace following the break, appearing to have avoided any injuries.
Makes nine clearances
Richards generated two tackles (two won), nine clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Everton.
Analysis: Richards registered two tackles won, two interceptions, three blocks and nine clearances in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Everton, delivering the outstanding individual defensive performance of the match for his side and throwing himself into every defensive situation as his side's most combative backline presence. The American center back's nine clearances were the most of any player on the pitch and his physical authority and reliability make him one of Crystal Palace's most important defensive assets.
