A FORMER Arsenal star was brutally snubbed from Crystal Palace’s team photo and banished to the youth side in mysterious circumstances.

Oliver Glasner appears to be taking no prisoners as the Eagles lined up for their annual squad snap.

Crystal Palace left a former Arsenal star out of their new team photo

In a brilliant shot, players from both the men’s and women’s team lined up together for the special moment.

Palace made seven first-team signings this summer.

And each one was included in the bonding session this week.

Goalie Matt Turner and defenders Trevoh Chalobah, Maxence Lacroix and Chadi Riad are all hoping to make an impact.

While further up the field, Palace have reinforced with Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah.

The latter arrived in an initial £25million move from Arsenal.

But Nketiah has been unable to link up with a former Gunners teammate, who was not in the team photo after being dropped to the youth side.

Defender Rob Holding, 29, was a £4m signing from north London last summer.

The two-time FA Cup winner was seen as a bit of a coup for ex-Palace boss Roy Hodgson.

But Holding failed to make one single league appearance for his new side.

And his only game came in the Carabao Cup.

However, Holding has failed to impress Glasner too.

And after being demoted to the U23s, who he’s already turned out for in the EFL Trophy, Holding no longer has a future at Selhurst Park.

Glasner reportedly informed the defender to find a new club during the summer, with Holding receiving no offers.

And last month, Palace’s boss confirmed that Holding is not in his future plans.

Glasner said: “He knows the reason. But it is something that stays between Rob and me. Nothing public.”
