Crystal Palace boss Hodgson 'feeling good' ahead of Fulham clash

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says he's fit to face Fulham this weekend.

Hodgson withdrew before defeat at Aston Villa last week due to a morning illness.

"I'm feeling good," said Hodgson. "(The experience watching remotely was) not good. The link was sent to us, (me and) the young physiotherapist who was accompanying me, was keeping me company.

"We were sent the link but we couldn't get it to work unfortunately, so we had the even worse experience of listening to it on the radio and that's not something I would recommend.

"The performance, in my opinion, watching it back, was good. I thought it was, listening to the radio. I got quite good vibes, and when I spoke to Ray Lewington who came to the hospital directly afterwards he said he was very satisfied and pleased with the performance.

"I was expecting it to be quite good watching it back, but if anything it was better than I even could have expected."
