Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann is hopeful injury suffered in victory at Burnley isn't serious.

Dann made his third start and fourth Premier League appearance of the season and helped marshall the Eagles rear-guard for the opening hour until an injury forced him to come off.

He also provided an assist for Wilfried Zaha's opener in the 2-0 win and later said, "To be honest, I remember playing it out wide but my ankle was a bit sore so I was on the floor and didn't actually see him score the goal – he probably beat five men and scored!

"I haven't played much football of late, obviously I've been fit but the lads have been doing a good job and I've had to wait for my chance. It was nice to come back and contribute today.

"I'm hoping it's not [anything serious]. I got a whack early on from a tackle and it seemed to be getting better until half-time but it stiffened up and I couldn't really move as I needed to. I got as much as could've out of the game."
