Hennessey 'desperate' to be educated about Hitler and Nazism - Hodgson

Wayne Hennessey escaped punishment for an alleged Nazi salute after claiming ignorance and he now wants to be educated on the subject.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson understands goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is "desperate" to be educated about Adolf Hitler and fascism after his apparent "lamentable" ignorance saw him cleared of wrongdoing after making an alleged Nazi salute.

Wales international Hennessey was charged by the Football Association (FA) after a photograph showing him with his right arm raised and left hand placed over his mouth was posted to Instagram by Palace team-mate Max Meyer, who is German, in January.
