SportsVieira now handed another Palace injury worry pre-Chelsea as journo drops news on 'popular' star
Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell could miss the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea through injury, according to The Evening Standard.
The Lowdown: Mitchell goes off
Labelled as ‘popular’ by former Eagles boss Roy Hodgson, the defender was forced off against Leicester City in his team’s 2-1 defeat on Sunday.
The 22-year-old has been a key member of Patrick Vieira’s squad during his first season in charge, starting every Premier League game.
However, he had to make way against the Foxes after just 34 minutes with what appeared to be a calf problem, and along with Michael Olise, he could now be in a race against time to feature at Wembley.
The Latest: Nervous wait
The Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick shared a story regarding Mitchell on Monday.
He revealed that the full-back was due for scans on the problem on Monday, with Palace facing a nervous wait on the extent of the damage.
The Verdict: Fingers crossed
As mentioned, Mitchell has been an ever-present figure at Selhurst Park this season, so it would be a major blow if he is unable to feature at Wembley next weekend.
The Palace academy graduate has been their best-performing defender, as per WhoScored, and he is the only senior out-and-out left-back on the books for the Eagles.
Vieira will be keeping everything crossed that Mitchell can recover in time, as otherwise he will have a few selection headaches over the coming days.
