Jeffrey Schlupp is set for a scan on Monday amid concerns he will miss at least a month with a hamstring injury.

'It looks like we're going to miss him for a while and that's unfortunate because he's been doing very, very well for us.'
Schlupp was replaced after 40 minutes by Eberechi Eze, who scored a sensational second goal to seal Palace's win as the Eagles moved up to 14th in the Premier League.
They also lost Christian Benteke to injury early in the second half but Hodgson said: 'Benteke got a kick in the first half – we think it's a dead leg which usually doesn't develop into anything long term.'
