Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha hopes to return to action in a month after picking up knee injury against Newcastle
The Eagles winger suffered the blow against the Magpies at Selhurst Park on Sunday, and will be a huge miss for Roy Hodgson
WILFRIED ZAHA hopes to return to action in a month.
Yet the Crystal Palace star, who injured his knee against Newcastle on Sunday, has been warned it could take up to six weeks before he is playing in the Premier League.
Yet the news is still not as bad as it could have been for Palace who will have their best player back for the crucial run-in.
Zaha, 25, has injured the outside of his knee so the damage is not serious.
He is hoping to be fit for the March 10 trip to Chelsea but looks certain to be back for the March 31 clash with Liverpool.
Palace are currently 14th but only three points above the relegation zone and they face Everton this weekend.
The Ivory Coast international has arguably been the Eagles' stand-out player yet again this season, chipping in with four goals and one assist in 20 top-flight games.
His injury will come as a huge blow to Roy Hodgson, whose side remain embroiled in a relegation battle.
