Crystal Palace miss Mateta

London (AFP) – Crystal Palace will have to do without the services of their French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta for “at least four weeks” due to a muscle injury, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson said at a press conference following his team’s 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on Friday: “He was injured two days ago at the end of a training session while doing individual exercises. We may be without him for at least four weeks.”
