Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke will likely miss Saturday's clash against Cardiff City.

The Belgian suffered a knock in the 0-0 home draw with Everton.

Manager Roy Hodgson said: "Unfortunately Christian Benteke took a nasty blow to the head 10 or 15 minutes before the end of the game with (Everton's) Michael Keane so he's suffering from that blow.

"We'll see how it goes but he's very unlikely for Saturday. He's damaged his cheekbone which has needed treatment that has kept him out of training this week."
