Wilfried Zaha sustained a hamstring injury against Newcastle United that will see him miss the match against Leeds United, Roy Hodgson has confirmed.
“We don’t know how long it’s going to keep him out,” he said in his pre-match press conference. “He certainly won’t be available for this game, and it could be much longer than that.
“At the moment of course it’s the early stage of the injury and he’s still being assessed. It’s totally unrealistic to suggest he’d be ready for this game.”
The manager reiterated that the medical staff were doing all they could ensure a swift return to action.
