Wilfried Zaha has tested positive for coronavirus, Roy Hodgson has revealed. Crystal Palace’s talisman was left out of the team for Monday evening’s trip to Turf Moor after being told to self-isolate. 

"He has tested positive unfortunately for coronavirus so is self-isolating, and is awaiting the results of the next test," Hodgson said. "He is not feeling particularly ill, but unfortunately the test proved (positive), and he is following the procedures."

Zaha was set to make his 200th Premier League appearance at Turf Moor but his place in the Palace XI has gone to Michy Batshuayi in their only change to the side that won 4-1 at Leeds before the international break.
