Hodgson updates on Cahill and Ayew

Roy Hodgson provided an update on Crystal Palace pair Gary Cahill and Jordan Ayew during his pre-match press conference ahead of Palace's game with Fulham.

Hodgson confirmed that he will be without Cahill against the Cottagers, and that Ayew remains in self isolation due to a positive COVID-19 test, but was not overly negative on either situation.

"Gary’s not very good I’m afraid," he said. "It was a nasty injury, so we’re still assessing it. He won’t be able to play tomorrow unless something miraculous happens tonight, but I’m hopeful it won't keep him out for weeks on end.
