Crystal Palace defender Gary Cahill was at the end of a very dangerous tackle from Brighton defender Lewis Dunk last weekend.

Dunk was rightfully sent off, but due to this tackle, the Eagles centre-back will be missing for the upcoming fixture against Fulham.

Roy Hodgson was speaking in his press conference before the weekend fixture and said: "Gary won't be able to play tomorrow. We're still assessing it but it's too soon after the kick he took for him to play tomorrow."

This is very frustrating and a lot of Palace fans are fuming, as the game against Brighton was his first game since he suffered a hamstring injury at the end of last season.

Hodgson knows the importance of Cahill, as in the past he said, "He’s also brought us leadership qualities, he’s been very good leadership-wise. He’s the best type of leader; he’s the quiet leader people don’t see from Row Z in the stand."

For now they don't know the severity of the injury, and it will be very frustrating for Hodgson as the injury definitely could have been avoided.

Here is how Palace fans are reacting to Cahill's injury:
