​Crystal Palace winger Zaha okay after crude challenge from Liverpool's Grujic

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has not sustained an injury after kicked by Liverpool's Marko Grujic.

Gjuric had not long entered the game as a substitute before lashing out at the Ivorian.

Zaha appeared to be hurt after the challenge, but Eagles boss Frank de Boer has confirmed that he is come through unscathed.

"I think he's [Zaha] okay. I don't think it was a very nice thing to do on him because it was on purpose and luckily for us, he could continue," said de Boer.

"Normally, that's not the way you want to play friendly games but also a Premier League game. He is a very important player and we don't want to see him injured of course."
