Roy Hodgson says Wilfried Zaha still needs time to recover from a hamstring strain – as his side’s trip to the Amex nears.
The Crystal Palace manager has ruled Zaha out of his injury-hit squad for tomorrow’s Premier League match against Burnley.
Zaha suffered a hamstring strain in the recent victory over Newcastle and missed the 2-0 defeat at Leeds on Monday night.
Palace visit the Amex a week on Monday and would love to have their talisman back in action by then.

Hodgson said today it is still too early to speculate on just how long Zaha could be sidelined.
He added: "It is only one week, maybe slightly more, into his muscle injury, so we are anticipating it will take more time than that for him to recover."
