Crystal Palace face anxious wait for Zaha scan

Crystal Palace face an anxious wait after Wilfried Zaha suffered an injury during their 0-0 draw with Newcastle.

Zaha, making his 450th start, pulled up with what appeared to be a hamstring injury forcing boss Patrick Vieira to bring on Michael Olise in the 65th minute.

Vieira said on the game, “I think the game today showed us that the other side of the game is really important.

"It's not just about playing, having the ball and trying to play some nice football – today was all about defending well, sticking together, working well at set-pieces, defending the second ball, and making it really difficult for them."
