Meyer sidelined for Watford clash - Hodgson updates on defence

Roy Hodgson has provided a lengthy injury update ahead of Crystal Palace's trip to Watford on Saturday, with the Palace manager revealing that Max Meyer has been unwell this week and will be unlikely to make the game against the Hornets.

Hodgson said: "Max Meyer is sick, he has been sick now for the whole week so I doubt if he’ll recover tomorrow."

After suffering defensive injuries to Patrick van Aanholt, Joel Ward, Gary Cahill and Scott Dann over recent weeks as well as Mamadou Sakho being suspended having received a red card against AFC Bournemouth, Hodgson went into greater detail on his backline.
