Here’s how they fared:
Loan Report: Two in three for Rak-Sakyi, clean sheets for Imray & Adaramola
It was another busy weekend across the English Football Pyramid and beyond, with nine Crystal Palace loanees in action during a sunny spring weekend.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi – Stoke City
Rak-Sakyi continued his strong run of form by scoring Stoke City’s equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers at the bet365 Stadium.
The winger was involved throughout, helping to create Stoke’s early chances before making his mark just before the hour.
Meeting Million Manhoef’s low cross, Rak-Sakyi slid in to convert from close range and bring the hosts level. He later went close to a winner, curling narrowly wide from inside the box.
It marks three goals in nine Championship starts for the 23-year-old – including two in his last three matches – as he continues to build momentum ahead of Friday’s clash with Wrexham.
Danny Imray – West Bromwich Albion
Imray delivered another assured performance at right-back, playing the full 90 minutes as West Brom secured a hard-earned clean sheet in a goalless draw with Millwall.
The defender has now completed seven consecutive matches and remains unbeaten in that run, establishing himself as a key figure in recent weeks since the managerial change to James Morrison. He impressed both defensively and going forward in a typically physical Championship contest.
West Brom sit just two points above the relegation zone with four games remaining.
David Ozoh – Derby County
Ozoh made his third consecutive start, playing 67 minutes in Derby County’s narrow 2-1 defeat to Southampton.
The midfielder was influential in a competitive midfield battle before being withdrawn as Derby pushed for a winner. Ozoh continues to play a key role for the Rams, taking his tally to 31 appearances this season and 43 across his two loan spells.
He will look to maintain his place when Derby host Oxford United next weekend.
Tayo Adaramola – Sheffield Wednesday
Adaramola impressed once again as Sheffield Wednesday earned a goalless draw, contributing at both ends of the pitch before being forced off through injury in stoppage time.
The full-back was a constant outlet down the left, creating chances – including a dangerous pull-back that nearly led to the opener – while also defending resolutely to help secure the clean sheet.
He has now featured in all 14 matches he has been available for since joining on loan.

Romain Esse – Coventry City
Esse was introduced midway through the second half as Coventry City were held to a goalless draw by Sheffield Wednesday in a top against bottom clash in the Championship.
Brought on as Coventry pushed for a breakthrough, the midfielder added energy and attacking intent in the final third and will hope to return to the starting XI against Blackburn Rovers as the Sky Blues close in on promotion.
Owen Goodman – Barnsley
Goodman made back-to-back starts between the sticks as Barnsley secured a 3-1 victory over Rotherham United in League One.
The ‘keeper produced a composed display, helping his side see out the win and build momentum in the closing stages of the campaign.
Zach Henry – Hassocks
Henry was on the scoresheet as Hassocks secured a 3-1 win over Croydon Athletic in the Isthmian South East Division (Step Four of the English football pyramid).
The forward opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a well-taken finish, setting the tone for his side’s victory.
Marcus Hill – Raynes Park Vale
Hill made consecutive starts for Raynes Park Vale in the Isthmian South Central Division (Step Four of the English football pyramid), featuring in a win over Farnham Town and a 1-1 draw with Bognor Regis.
The 19-year-old continues to gain valuable senior experience as he maintains his place between the sticks.
Aziz Ouedraogo – SV Beveren
Ouedraogo featured off the bench, playing 17 minutes as SV Beveren secured a 2-0 victory over KV Kortrijk in the Belgian Challenger Pro League on Saturday.
The 20-year-old, who joined Palace in the summer of 2024, has spent the past two seasons on loan with the Belgian side and continues to gain valuable minutes, having played the full 90 in last week’s 5-0 win over RSCA Futures, keeping a clean sheet.
Joe Whitworth – Exeter City
Whitworth remains sidelined through injury and did not feature in Exeter City’s 2-2 draw with Plymouth Argyle.
Hindolo Mustapha – West Bromwich Albion
Mustapha was an unused substitute in West Brom’s goalless draw with Millwall.
Jake Grante – AFC Totton
Grante remains unavailable through injury, missing AFC Totton’s 2-1 victory over Dorking Wanderers in the National League South.
The defender was forced off in the 25th minute of Totton’s Good Friday win over Salisbury, ruling him out of subsequent fixtures following his recent step up to Step Two of the English football pyramid after a successful spell with St Albans City.
Matheus França – Vasco da Gama
França was an unused substitute as Vasco da Gama were held to a 1-1 draw by Remo in Brazil’s Campeonato Brasileiro Série A on Saturday.
