Football: Crystal Palace's Hodgson hopes for swift Sakho recovery

Sakho, who joined Palace from Liverpool in 2017, picked up a knee injury in a Premier League clash against Leicester City in February and underwent an operation a few days later.The 29-year-old returned to action earlier this season and started league games against Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers but has since missed matches against Norwich City and West Ham United following another injury setback.

"I hope he will be back soon and he is working very hard. I can't put a time on it," Hodgson told reporters ahead of the side's clash against second-placed Manchester City on Saturday.Crystal Palace are currently sixth in the Premier League with 14 points and Hodgson was happy with his side's start but warned against any possible complacency."It's been a good start.

"In the eight games so far 14 points is a good haul of points but we have a tough run of games coming up... you can go into the games without that feeling of a knife at your throat for the relegation zone. "I'm not sure Pep needs to be worried about any team he faces but it would be nice to know they need to show us some respect. Tomorrow is an exciting challenge."
