Crystal Palace will be without defender Mamadou Sakho when they take on Manchester United.
The midweek clash will see United travel to South London in an attempt to continue their strong run of form. Unbeaten in English football since the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it will be a tall order for Roy Hodgson’s men to secure a win on Wednesday night.
And Ben Dinnery of ESPN FC claims they’ll be without their first choice central defender in Sakho, whose knee injury will keep him on the sidelines.
The Frenchman has started every single game for the Eagles this year, and his absence in the lineup will be an unwelcome reminder of ‘Life before Sakho’ for the Palace faithful.
James Tomkins’ new partner could be the veteran Scott Dann, or the more inexperienced Jairo Riedewald.
Palace played out a 0-0 draw with United back in November, when Jose Mourinho was still in charge.
