Hodgson: Sakho is unavailable for United clash

Roy Hodgson has provided an injury update ahead of Crystal Palace's home game with Manchester United tomorrow, stating that centre-back Mamadou Sakho will not be in contention to play.

Sakho limped off the field against Leicester City on Saturday, being replaced by Scott Dann in the 77th minute.

Hodgson explained that the Frenchman will not be able to shore up the Eagles' defence tomorrow, saying: "We don't know yet, he's being assessed. We have to wait and see what the diagnosis is. But he won't be playing tomorrow, that I can obviously state. I can't yet comment on how serious or minor the injury is.
