Hodgson Provides an Injury Update and Discusses Perri Ahead of Spurs Clash

Roy Hodgson has looked ahead to Crystal Palace's Emirates FA Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday, providing an injury update and discussing the Eagles' new signing, Lucas Perri.

Palace were without shot-stoppers Wayne Hennessey and Vicente Guaita against Liverpool in their most recent match, and Hodgson confirmed that the same absentees will be unavailable for the cup tie.

He explained the situation, whilst also providing the positive update that forwards Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham are both finishing their recovery strongly.

He said, "The only other injury we have to worry about apart from the two goalkeepers who are recovering and making good progress is Pape Souare who dislocated his shoulder and is expected to be out for a fairly lengthy period of time.
