Crystal Palace boss Hodgson upset for crocked Souare

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was upset for Pape Souare after an injury setback in their FA Cup win over Grimsby.

Hodgson hopes the injury isn't serious.

He said, “I'm very disappointed for him. I've worked with him for over a year and he's done so well to get back from a horrendous injury, and he's been out there every day in training trying his very best to get better and show me that he's a good player. Unfortunately, he's found a guy like Patrick van Aanholt in front of him.

“Today was the day that I was hoping to get him on the field of play and show what he shows us in training and come off the field victorious and happy. To come off injured was a bitter blow, and it was an unfortunate thing where he was bowled over, fell awkwardly and picked up a shoulder injury. I can only hope that he can recover quickly, but it's not a minor injury; it could keep him out for weeks."
