Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has insisted that he will not put Wilfried Zaha under pre sure to Connor McGovern Jerseys perform.

The Cote d'Ivoire international suffered a knee injury on February 8 and was sidelined for a month before returning against Chelsea last weekend as a second-half substitute and Matt Ammendola Jerseys a sisted with the consolation goal as the Eagles suffered a 2-1 defeat at the Stamford Bridge.

And despite losing all their last four games, the former Liverpool manager has maintained that he will be Zane Lewis Jerseys patient with the talismanic forward.

Neither Wilf nor I can guarantee that he's going to be able to find that level of form again", Hodgson said during a pre s conference ahead of their clash against Huddersfield Town.

"I'd rather not put him under that much pre sure. All we want from Joe Namath Jerseys Wilf Zaha is the desire, the determination and the character to do what we know he can do.

When you focus the spotlight so much on one person I think it' Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jerseys s very, very dangerous. I'm hoping there'll be quite a few other players who step up in these final games."

Crystal Palace are Nathan Shepherd Jerseys 18th in the log with 27 points from 30 games and a win on Saturday could lift them off the relegation zone.
