Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has jumped to goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey's defence after Eagles fans slammed the Welshman's performance against Doncaster Rovers on Sunday.
Hennessey was making his first start since the FA Cup third round and the 32-year-old remains in hot water over allegations that he made a Nazi salute following the emergence of a photo with his Palace teammates, but Hodgson has no doubts over his innocence.
As quoted by the Daily Mail, Hodgson said: "We are both hoping and confident that charge won't lead to any particular sanctions.
"We believe he is totally innocent of any charge being made, although we do understand in this current climate that the FA are duty bound to research anything.
