Roy Hodgson has provided an update on the fitness of his squad before Crystal Palace travel north to face Manchester United.
The Palace manager was asked to provide team news in his weekly press conference today and stated that: "We don't have any problems other than the ones we've been wrestling with, with Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins. Apart from that we're okay."
Asked for further details on the fitness of his sidelined centre-back partnership, Hodgson was rather reticent, pointing out that the pair are, as ever, working tirelessly, but that he cannot place a timescale on their recovery.
