Roy Hodgson has revealed Crystal Palace may be without three crucial first team players for this weekend’s Premier League encounter against Aston Villa due to injuries.
The Eagles have had a turbulent few days. A superb victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United on Saturday was quickly followed by a humiliating defeat on penalties at home to League Two Colchester United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
After that defeat, Hodgson, who rang the changes, confirmed Jeffrey Schlupp, Patrick van Aanholt and Joel Ward were all absent due to injuries, casting doubts over whether they’ll be involved this weekend against Villa.
