Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says that Wilfried Zaha is still 'suffering with an injury' ahead of their clash with Albion on Monday.

The Ivorian has missed their last two games due a thigh injury, with both ending in defeat and Palace failing to find the back of the net.

But Hodgson gave an update on Zaha ahead of their trip to the Amex.

He said: "He's still suffering from the injury, no question of that.

"The Doctors and physios are very anxious not to put dates on, but he's working very hard to get back as soon as he can, and he has good powers of recovery so I'm hoping the prognosis will be quite different to the recovery."

Palace currently have nine players out injured including Zaha.

Hodgson was asked if the situation regarding the injured players is any better, to which he replied: "No, not really. James McCarthy trained today.

"But a couple of others picked up slight knocks to keep an eye on for the weekend.

"It won't be vastly different, and could be slightly worse."
