Crystal Palace left short on subs bench after Wayne Hennessey is injured in warm-up
Roy Hodgson replaced the Welshman with Julian Speroni ahead of kick off at The Hawthorns
CRYSTAL PALACE have been left short on the subs bench after Wayne Hennessey picked up an injury ahead of kick off.
The Welshman was named in the starting XI for the Eagles clash against West Brom.
Ex-England chief Roy Hodgson was forced to call in replacement Julian Speroni at The Hawthorns.
But the late change leaves Palace with just five substitutes after the boss named just six on the bench for the game.
Scott Dann and James Tomkins are not in the matchday squad, despite travelling with the rest of the squad.
Defender Dann is reported to be ill and Tomkins is allegedly injured.
The Eagles will be able to go level with their hosts if they can secure a win at The Hawthorns.
Nonetheless, new boss Alan Pardew will be hoping to kick-off his West Brom career with a win.

But they will remain firmly rooted to the foot of the table if their old chief can get off to a winning start.
Palace will be looking to bounce back after a goalless draw against Brighton on Tuesday.
