Hodgson: Zaha backed by teammates

Wilfried Zaha did not to take a knee before Crystal Palace's game with West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, something manager Roy Hodgson said he is fully supported in doing.

Zaha explained his decision in a statement pre-match, which read: "My decision to stand at kick-off has been public knowledge for a couple of weeks now.

"There is no right or wrong decision, but for me personally I feel kneeling has just become a part of the pre-match routine and at the moment it doesn’t matter whether we kneel or stand, some of us still continue to receive abuse.
