Roy Hodgson hopes for Bakary Sako's best after Crystal Palace return

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is upbeat about the return of Bakary Sako, describing his signing as 'a useful addition to his squad'.

After a spending three seasons with the Eagles, Sako turned down an offer to remain at Selhurst Park and subsequently left as a free agent at the end of the 2017-18 campaign which led to his move to West Bromwich Albion in October.

Prior to his exit, the Mali international suffered a season-ending ankle injury against West Ham United last year January that ruled him out for the rest season.
