Crystal Palace boss Vieira delivers Zaha update

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira admits Wilfried Zaha won't make today's clash with Manchester United.

Palace will be without top scorer Zaha for the trip to United.

“Wilfried is still on the treatment table," Vieira confirmed. “Obviously his injury will take him a couple of weeks, so we have to do without him.

“Wilfried is someone who recovers quite quickly, but we don't want to put a date on his injury. We are just going to let him work with the medical staff and get him back as soon as possible.

“[Nathan Ferguson and James McArthur] are progressing really well. They trained with the first-team for the last couple of weeks so they are in a really good position, but it is too short for them to be involved in the first-team at the minute. There is a protocol in place that is important for us to follow but they are doing well.

Joachim Andersen is slowly progressing, but he is not available for the game tomorrow."
