Roy Hodgson has been dealt another blow to his squad's fitness as he revealed today that centre-back Mamadou Sakho will be sidelined for "a considerable period."
The Palace manager was asked for a full injury update on his squad, and he revealed why Sakho was forced from the pitch against Norwich City and also commented on the fitness of Wilfried Zaha.
He said: "It [the injury list] has been added to of course with Mamadou Sakho pulling his hamstring against Norwich. He'll be out for a considerable period. Gary Cahill had his first training session today which is positive.
