Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha a doubt to face Arsenal due to a hamstring injury

Wilfried Zaha a doubt to face Arsenal due to a hamstring injury

Wilfried Zaha has emerged as a doubt for Crystal Palace's Premier League clash with Arsenal on Monday after picking up a hamstring injury during the international break.

The winger missed Ivory Coast's friendly with England at Wembley on Tuesday night after feeling pain in his hamstring during his side's 2-1 defeat to France.

Zaha has suffered either a grade one or two hamstring injury, but it is currently unknown how severe the problem is going to be for him.

"After the first game, he felt something painful behind the hamstring," Ivory Coast manager Patrice Beaumelle told reporters after his side were beaten by England.

"I asked him to come with the team for the game. He was so sad because he wanted to play. He is a very fast player, he needs his hamstring to play his game. I would have loved him to have played tonight with the Elephants."

The 29-year-old has already begun his recovery from the injury, but remains a major doubt for Monday's game at Selhurst Park.
