Bakary Sako will miss the rest of the season for Crystal Palace after fracturing his ankle

Crystal Palace winger Bakary Sako is out for the rest of the season after fracturing his ankle, manager Roy Hodgson said on Friday.

Sako limped off in the first half of Palace's 1-1 Premier League draw at West Ham United on Tuesday.

Hodgson said the 29-year-old, who has scored six goals in all competitions this season, suffered damage to his ankle ligaments and remains a doubt to be fit for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
