Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits James Tomkins' season is over.
Hodgson has confirmed Tomkins will miss the rest of the season with a groin injury.
He said: "He's obviously damaged something in his groin area but I don't know what it is.
"We'll have to scan that but it didn't look very good.
"If it isn't good and he's going to miss games it'll be a massive, massive blow for us because we're already missing [Mamadou] Sakho for the last five or six games, and Tomkins and Sakho have played a large part in us being where we are today.
"If I'm going to miss both of them for the last five games of the season it's a blow. It's not a minor knock but we'll have to look into it."
