If Roy Hodgson thought last week’s injury to Dean Henderson was a cruel script to write, the scribes certainly have it in for Crystal Palace with Eberechi Eze now facing up to six weeks out.
Eze picked up a hamstring injury in training to further populate a busy treatment room, further stretching one of the smallest squads in the Premier League. There are now eight first-team players either out ruled out or returning from injury, including Michael Olise and summer signing Matheus Franca.
