Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho ruled out of their final two Premier League games with knee ligament injury

Crystal Palace have received a blow to their Premier League survival hopes after on-loan defender Mamadou Sakho was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Sakho has impressed at Selhurst Park since arriving from Liverpool in January, as Sam Allardyce's team moved out of the bottom three.

However Sakho suffered knee ligament damage in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last month.
