Allardyce fears for Sakho

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce fears onloan defender Mamadou Sakho could miss the rest of the season after he was carried off on a stretcher in Wednesday’s 1-0 Premier League defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.

Sakho injured his right knee while stretching to make a tackle on Tottenham striker Harry Kane. He immediately signalled that he was in trouble and was carried off after treatment.
