Crystal Palace chairman Parish reacts to Mandanda strike claims...

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has dismissed claims of Steve Mandanda going on strike.

It's been reported the France goalkeeper will refuse to take part in preseason training in order to force through a move to Marseille.

But Parish says: "No one's come back for pre-season training yet, we don't until Friday.

"We expect to see Steve [Mandanda] on Friday, if you're a Crystal Palace player you turn up for training as a Crystal Palace player. I know Steve a little bit, he's a super guy, I can't imagine he would want to do that, but let's see on Friday, if you guys are right he won't be here."
