Hodgson praises Mitchell, hopes for recovery and discusses Sakho substitution

Roy Hodgson discussed a "Groundhog Day situation" in his post-match press conference after Crystal Palace's clash with Wolves, praising full-back Tyrick Mitchell and giving his viewpoint on the game as a whole.

Focusing on 20-year-old Mitchell, who made his full Premier League debut against an in-form Adama Traore, Hodgson said: "a young lad was making his full debut against one of the best players on the field, a fellow who, unfortunately for us, had a very, very good evening.

"I’m full of praise for his [Mitchell's] performance. I thought he was excellent today and he must be delighted to have got through that game as he did, albeit on the wrong end of a [losing] scoreline.
