Crystal Palace winger, Wilfried Zaha, has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss Monday’s match against Burnley.
Palace manager Roy Hodgson confirmed Zaha is self-isolating after returning a positive test ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
“He has tested positive unfortunately for coronavirus so is self-isolating, and is awaiting the results of the next test,” said Hodgson.
“He is not feeling particularly ill, but unfortunately the test proved [positive], and he is following the procedures.”

Belgium international Michy Batshuayi replaced Zaha in the starting line-up to face Burnley.
His inclusion is the only change to the side from the starting XI that beat Leeds 4-1 prior to the international break.
Zaha did not feature for the Ivory Coast during the recent break, as they played Madagascar home and away in Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
The 28-year-old wrote on Twitter: “Wishing the team good luck today! I’ve got some family responsibilities that I’ve got to take care of, which means I won’t be there for the next two games but will be back next time around.
“Supporting you all the way.”
