Wilfried Zaha suffers 'massive' injury blow ahead of Leeds United clash
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Wilfried Zaha could be out for months with a muscle strain in what he labelled as a "massive blow" ahead of next weekend's game against Leeds United.
Zaha was forced off just before half-time during Palace's 2-1 victory over Leicester City - a result that ultimately saw Brendan Rodgers sacked as head coach. Hodgson was thrilled to see the Eagles claim all three points against the Foxes, but knows just how big a blow their captain's absence can be for the club in their battle against relegation.

Palace take on Leeds next Sunday in a huge top-flight game and the Whites now look set to face their relegation rivals without their talisman forward.
"There is no update," Hodgson said after the full-time whistle. "The injury was a massive blow. Who knows? All we can cross our fingers and hope for the very best because we don’t want to lose him for any length of time. It’s a muscle strain. They can take anything from days to weeks or months. We will have to wait and see."
Leeds United loanee Jamie Shackleton opens up on 'great' time at Millwall amid Whites preparation
Leeds United midfielder Jamie Shackleton has spoken about how his loan spell at Championship club Millwall has been great for his career.
The 23-year-old has been on loan at The Den since July and has made 33 appearances in all competitions for the Lions alongside fellow Whites loanee Charlie Cresswell.
But having lived his entire life in Yorkshire, adapting to life down in the capital was a worrying prospect for the youngster, who was delighted to travel back up to see his family and friends during the international break.
"If we get a couple of days off, more often than not, I’ll get myself back up there and go and see everybody that I need to see," Shackleton said to Southwark News.

Mikel Arteta highlights Leeds United weaknesses to Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper ahead of clash
Mikel Arteta has told Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper how to break down Leeds United after his Arsenal side put four past the Whites at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Spaniard's Gunners went 1-0 up after Whites defender Luke Ayling clipped Gabriel Jesus in the penalty area, leading to the Brazilian firing past Illan Meslier from the spot.
Two minutes after halftime, their lead was doubled when former Leeds right-back Ben White's shot came off the underside of the crossbar and went in from close range at the back post thanks to a great cross by Gabriel Martinelli.
