Manager confirms injury crisis for Manchester United's trip to Selhurst Park

Alan Pardew will be missing some key players for the game against Manchester United

ALAN PARDEW has confirmed Crystal Palace will be without a number of key players for the game against Manchester United.

 

The Red Devils travel to Selhurst Park this Saturday (3.00pm) and arrive in good form having won six of their last ten games.

Palace are similarly in good shape in seventh place in the Premier League table, however, could be without instrumental midfielder Yohan Cabaye.

The Frenchman has hit the ground running since returning to the Premier League this season, scoring four times in 11 appearances.

And Pardew admits they are 'sweating' over the fitness of the 29-year-old as the weekend approaches.

 

"Cabaye was injured and we're sweating on him for Saturday," Pardew told reporters.

However, the London club also have other injury concerns to worry about and will be without striker Marouane Chamakh and Connor Wickham.

And full-back Pape Souare will leave a big hole down the left flank for Palace, having played in all but one league game this term.

"Connor and Chamakh are both training but they won't make Saturday for sure, Pape, same again, and he is an important player for us down that left-hand side," he added.
