Embattled Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has defended his decision to send on Michael Olise against Brighton, after the winger sustained another injury blow in a heavy loss.
Olise started on the bench for the Premier League rivalry clash at the Amex Stadium having been withdrawn late on as a precaution after playing a starring role in the 3-2 win over Sheffield United on Tuesday - his first start of the calendar year following a hamstring issue.
