Crystal Palace ruing Yannick Bolasie and Connor Wickham injury blows

Crystal Palace are assessing Yannick Bolasie amid fears he could miss two months through injury.

And in a double blow to Alan Pardew; striker Connor Wickham is also facing an extended spell on the sidelines.

Bolasie is understood to have sustained an upper leg injury ahead of the Boxing Day clash against Stoke, while Wickham could miss around a month with a suspected calf problem picked up in the win at Stoke. The duo are being assessed but Pardew is bracing himself for the worst.

The double injury setback will come as a blow to Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew

Pardew alluded to the injury blows earlier this week, saying: 'We've got some additional injuries that I'm going to keep in-house while I assess them. The next two games are about the squad.' 

Pardew took the decision to end forward Sullay Kaikai's loan spell at Shrewsbury as he looks to cope with his injury concerns.
