​Hodgson warns about overhyping Crystal Palace whizkid Wan-Bissaka

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has urged the public not to pressurise young star Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The 20-year-old fullback has been impressive since breaking into the first team last season.

"It's always nice when one of your players has a good game and captures the headlines as a result of it. So, I'm very happy for him in that respect," Hodgson told Sky Sports.

"But I still think it's better for us to be allowing him to continue to learn his trade, continue to prosper, without trying to raise him up on pedestals to then saw the legs off the pedestals when it suits."
