Crystal Palace Winger Zaha Tests Positive For Coronavirus

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.

“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.”

Hodgson added:

“We’ve known about it for a few days. We didn’t want to broadcast it to the world because we were rather hoping that the second test might free him to play.

“He’s had to self-isolate so now I have to wait for that test to free him because luckily he’s not feeling particularly unwell.”
