LONDON (Reuters) - Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says he has no concerns about his team's Premier League game at Leicester City on Saturday despite the Midlands city having lockdown measures re-imposed.

Leicester became the subject of the first local lockdown in the UK on Monday after a spike in COVID-19 cases.

"This is what's been decided and as far as our match is concerned as soon as the people at the Premier League and the people at Leicester gave us the go-ahead, that's it safe to play there, I had no qualms about accepting that," he said in a virtual news conference."Everything has been very good so far and all the promises made by the Premier League have been carried out.

"We are all coming to terms with it I think. I've said on many occasions this is the best alternative of the alternatives that are open to us," the 72-year-old said. Palace won their first match after the season resumed at Bournemouth, but defeats by Liverpool and Burnley have dented their prospects of a late run for Europe.
