Crystal Palace star Michael Olise handed another injury blow

Hodgson confirms Olise has suffered a serious hamstring injury

Palace Winger has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury

Crystal Palace have been dealt an injury blow with Michael Olise suffering another hamstring injury. The 19-year-old, who has been capped by France at Under-21 level, suffered a serious hamstring injury in June while on international duty. He has since been sidelined and was expected to return to action in the coming weeks.

However, Hodgson has now confirmed that Olise has suffered a setback in his recovery and will be out for an extended period of time. "Michael has suffered a serious hamstring injury," Hodgson said. "He is going to be out for a while. It is a big blow for us because he is a very talented player.

Olise is a key player for Palace and his absence will be a major blow to the team. The Eagles are currently 12th in the Premier League table and will be hoping to push for a top-half finish this season.
