Crystal Palace boss Hodgson admits Tomkins season over

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."
