Crystal Palace lose Zaha for West Ham clash

Crystal Palace have lost Wilfried Zaha for Saturday's clash with West Ham United.

The Ivorian was charged with improper conduct after applauding the referee following his dismissal against Southampton.

He missed last weekend's clash against Fulham and that suspension has been extended by another game, plus a £10,000 fine.

An FA statement said: "Wilfried Zaha has been suspended for one match following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing yesterday [06 February 2019]. He was also fined £10,000.

"The suspension is not currently effective whilst the player considers his right of appeal. The Crystal Palace forward accepted a charge of improper conduct, which followed his behaviour after a second-half dismissal during the game against Southampton on 30 January 2019."
