Premier League side Crystal Palace fear that defender Mamadou Sakho could be sidelined until the end of the season with a knee injury, according to a report on the Evening Standard.
The Frenchman has definitely been ruled out of tonight’s clash with Manchester United at Selhurst Park.
The medical staff at the club are still running more tests on Sakho’s knee to determine how serious the problem is, but the club are currently fearing the worst.
He picked up the injury during Palace’s impressive 4-1 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last weekend.
The centre-back has become a key part of Roy Hodgson’s squad and has formed a good partnership in defence with James Tomkins.
Hodgson will be hoping that it is not a long-term injury for Sakho, but the full details of the severity of the injury are expected to be known at a later date.
