Crystal Palace boss Hodgson eases Zaha injury concerns

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson insists Wilfried Zaha is in good shape after victory over Huddersfield.

The Ivory Coast international was substituted in the closing stages of Palace's 2-0 win at Huddersfield, having taken several knocks in challenges.

"I don't know it was a definite injury. He took quite a few kicks towards the end of the game," said Hodgson.

"Of course, Wilf carries the ball and on a couple of those occasions, he was stopped by a foul and he took a couple of little knocks.

"Add to that the fact it was his first full game in seven weeks and he worked very hard, it is a long time out.

"I am hoping - and I haven't been given any indication - that he has picked up any serious injury, and I am hoping he will recover."
