Crystal Palace are set to be without star man Wilfried Zaha for Saturday's match with Liverpool at Selhurst Park.
The forward has not played for Patrick Viera's side since injuring his hamstring on January 21.
Zaha is still a 'couple of weeks away' according to The Athletic.

Zaha has given Liverpool's defence a stern test in past meetings between the two sides so the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold will be quietly relieved he won't have recovered from injury in time.
Palace are yet to win a game in the Premier League since the turn of the year and the Reds will be hoping that continues on Saturday night as they attempt to further close the gap to the top four.
Liverpool now sit seven points away from Tottenham Hotspur in fourth spot after two wins on the bounce, but they will need to regroup after Tuesday's 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
