Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha a doubt for FA Cup final

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has revealed that winger Wilfried Zaha may be forced to sit out the FA Cup final against Manchester United later this month.

Pardew said at a press conference today that the 23-year-old was struggling with a hamstring strain and may not be fit in time for the Wembley showpiece against his former club.

"Wilf still has a problem that will still keep him out for this weekend," Pardew told reporters. "Hopefully he'll be okay for the final. Wilf's a naturally fit guy.

"He actually did the injury before the semi-final. We scanned him on the Monday afterwards and saw there's a slight tear there.

"We can't take a risk with him, it really is about risk his injury. There's no way he can play this weekend [against Stoke City], but he could possibly play at Southampton [on the final day of the Premier League season]."

Pardew also said that the club will fine midfielder Lee Chung-yong for criticising the manager in a recent interview.

Lee hit out at Pardew for being "too hot tempered in matches", claiming that the former Palace midfielder "forgets how many substitutes are left".
