Sam Allardyce is hoping to hear that his on-loan defender did not suffer season-ending ligament damage in a Premier League meeting with Tottenham
Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce is hoping Mamadou Sakho did not sustain cruciate ligament damage in a Premier League defeat at home to Tottenham on Wednesday.
Sakho had to be substituted after suffering the injury in a challenge on striker Harry Kane and the on-loan centre-back requires a scan to determine the extent of the problem.
With Sakho's loan from Liverpool set to expire at the end of the season, the France international may have played his last game for Palace, but Allardyce is hopeful the injury is not too serious.
