Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has issued an update on Dean Henderson ahead of Saturday's clash with Man United.
Crystal Palace will be without goalkeeper Dean Henderson and striker Odsonne Edouard for Saturday's Premier League meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford, manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed.
Addressing the media at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Hodgson said: "He's had a scan. The initial scan wasn't very positive, I'm sorry to say, but he has another scan in a week's time and maybe we'll be lucky and that will show somewhat less damage than we saw in the first one, but it didn't look like good news."
"I don't have any fears about him building on his good start or doing what he's been doing when he gets back into the team, but unfortunately this game has come just a little bit too soon and we can't take the risk of reactivating his slight muscle injury and make it more. That's the decision that had to be taken.
