Sakho injury could bring end to Palace loan spell - Allardyce

Following an injury in defeat to Tottenham, the Palace boss was keen for an update his loan star's fitness

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce says he is unsure whether Mamadou Sakho's loan spell from Liverpool will be forced into a premature end following an injury.

Having been left out of Jurgen Klopp's first team plans at Anfield this season, Sakho was granted a temporary move to Palace in January and he has quickly established himself as a key performer.

However, the France international was injured in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, a challenge with Harry Kane while the game was scoreless seeing Sakho carried from the pitch on a stretcher.
