Crystal Palace boss Hodgson: Zaha injury a concern

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says they'll know more about Wilfried Zaha's injury on Sunday.

Zaha was forced off during victory over Leicester.

Hodgson said: "I'm certainly concerned but I have no idea. Muscle strains can be long jobs. If we're very lucky it might not be as long as that. I just have to wait and trust the physios. If I know one thing it's that he is a quick healer, he doesn't like to be off the field of play. If anyone's going to get over it quickly it would be him, but we have to see firstly how bad it is.

"In the first half he looked like he was almost going to win the game off his own back. He was almost unplayable at moments. That does have a bit of a psychological influence on everybody. Amazingly enough, one of the substitutes who took his place produced the pass for the goal and one of the late substitutes scores it."
