Hodgson gives update on Crystal Palace star Zaha ahead of Newcastle United clash

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed Wilfried Zaha will miss their Premier League game against Newcastle United on Friday as he continues recovery from coronavirus.

Zaha is currently in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19 before the Eagles' league match against Burnley on Monday.

Following a 1-0 loss at Turf Moor earlier this week, Crystal Palace, who are aiming to return to winning ways against Newcastle United, will be without their leading scorer.
