Zaha waiting for injury diagnosis in Ivory Coast

Wilfried Zaha was still in the Ivory Coast as of Friday morning, with the Crystal Palace man not yet aware whether he will be returning home early from international duty.

The 26-year old made the 3,200-mile trip to the African nation on Wednesday for Ivory Coast’s African Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda this weekend, and for their friendly against Liberia on Tuesday, despite not knowing whether he would be cleared fit to play.

The forward missed Palace’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Watford last weekend with a hamstring strain.

Palace’s initial diagnosis was that Zaha would be available for their next Premier League game against Huddersfield on March 30.

According to the Evening Standard, Zaha is still waiting to hear the official diagnosis, where he will find out if he can return home early.
