Crystal Palace suffer major blow with Wilfried Zaha set to miss four weeks after rough Huddersfield treatment

Crystal Palace have suffered a major injury blow with Wilfried Zaha set to miss up to four weeks.

Zaha started in Palace’s demoralising 3-0 home defeat to Premier League new-boys Huddersfield on Saturday, but left Selhurst Park in a leg brace protecting his right knee.

And Zaha, it is feared, will miss up to a month with the injury. It means the Ivory Coast international - arguably the club’s most potent attacking threat - is set to miss games against Liverpool, Ipswich and Swansea.

It remains to be seen whether Zaha will be fit enough to play against Burnley after the forthcoming international break on September 10.
