Zaha has reportedly not suffered an injury

Contrary to earlier fears, Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has not sustained an injury, according to a report from Sky Sports News.

The Ivory Coast international is believed to have uploaded a cryptic Instagram story on Monday, depicting his leg in a protective boot with the caption of ‘back to the drawing board’.

This raised concerns that the Eagles attacker had sustained an injury problem during Palace’s 3-2 defeat away at West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

Zaha has since deleted the Instagram upload and it is reported by Sky Sports that there is no cause for concern regarding the player’s fitness.

The former Manchester United winger has not enjoyed the most successful of seasons at Selhurst Park but remains a pivotal player for Roy Hodgson, who will be keen to ensure that his star man stays fit.

Sky Sports’ report indicates that the boot strapped to Zaha’s leg in his story is used commonly by players as they recover from recent fixtures, with no indication of a new injury blow for the player.
