​Crystal Palace manager Hodgson could miss remaining fixtures

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson could miss the rest of their season.

The former England boss is 72 and would fall into the UK government's over 70s category of risk regarding the coronavirus.

It means that he may be barred from taking training or being at games, even if they are behind closed doors, perThe Sun.

People over 70 are at a higher risk of suffering serious illness and complications from the virus, as are those with compromised immune systems.

It is unclear when the Premier League will resume and if they can complete the season, or what restrictions may be in place for next term.

But Hodsgon is worried that restrictions on over 70s would apply to him for the foreseeable future.
