# Two players to miss Middlesbrough game through injury

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed that both Loic Remy and Mathieu Flamini look set to miss the game tomorrow against relegation rivals Middlesbrough.

During his pre-match press conference, he revealed that both these players had picked up knocks in the “intensive two-week programme” which took place this week following the cub’s departure from the FA Cup.

Remy has struggled to maintain his fitness since joining on loan from Chelsea for the season.

He also revealed that both Scott Dann and Bakary Sako had returned to full training but said that the game this weekend may be too soon for them, meaning new loan signing Mamadou Sakho may get a start after a full two weeks training and a return to full fitness.

The Frenchman is yet to feature for the club since joining temporarily from Liverpool during the January transfer window.
