Premier League's oldest manager Roy Hodgson, 76, is 'taken ill' at Crystal Palace training - and press conference is cancelled minutes before he was due to speak while facing the sack

Roy Hodgson's pre-match press conference ahead of Crystal Palace's trip to Everton on Monday has been cancelled after the 76-yar-old was taken ill during training.

The veteran Premier League manager was set to speak to the media at 1.30pm today as the club prepare to call time on his second stint at the club.

Mail Sport revealed earlier that Palace decision-makers will bring an end to Hodgson's second spell at Selhurst Park amid a concerning run of form.

However, the club have revealed that he was taken ill during the morning's training session and is now not able to attend the press conference with the media.
