Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits they face Manchester City today undermanned

Hodgson they're missing a "spine" of their team.

Tyrick Mitchell is OK which is good," Hodgson said at his pre-match press conference. Mitchell is the only one really who is back.

[Dean] Henderson has trained this week it is probably too early to play. We may have been obliged to ask him to play but the medical department would like him to have more time I think. The same with Ebere Eze.

We are already missing important players in terms of [Jordan] Ayew who is suspended, the goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, we are missing Jefferson Lerma of course and missing Odsonne Edouard.

So that is the spine of a team we had to play large parts of the game against Liverpool without, and that will be the same again tomorrow."
