Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is a doubt for their clash against Huddersfield.
The Ivory Coast attacker is struggling to get over a hamstring issue.
He last played on March 9 when he suffered the strain.
Speaking about Zaha, Hodgson told South London Press earlier: "You never know with hamstring injuries. You have to be very, very careful, especially with players as explosive as Wilf. He felt it after the Brighton game and didn't train during the week [leading up to the Watford game].
"It was pretty obvious that it would have been an enormous risk to play him in the game – a risk of much more serious injury."
