Crystal Palace fear that Cheick Doucouré could miss the rest of the season after injuring his achilles during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Luton that also saw Eberechi Eze suffer an injury setback.
Doucouré, who attracted strong interest from Liverpool in the summer after being named as Palace’s player of the year last season, left Kenilworth Road on crutches after being taken off on a stretcher in the 54th minute. Palace’s manager, Roy Hodgson, admitted after the game that the 23-year-old “is not going to be out for a short period of time” and it is understood that Palace now believe that he could be out for up to six months.
