Crystal Palace's 72-year-old manager Roy Hodgson 'concerned he could miss the rest of the Premier League season due to coronavirus restrictions' and has 'told friends he 'fears not being able to take training or attend matches'

Roy Hodgson fears that government restrictions on over 70s around coronavirus could hamper his ability to take charge of Crystal Palace for the rest of the season.

Following the postponement of all fixtures back in March, Premier League clubs are hoping for a mid-June restart with matches to be played behind closed doors.

Yet Hodgson has reportedly told friends that he does not believe he will be allowed to guide his team from the touchline or even take training sessions, according to The Sun.
