CROCK ZAHA FACES FOUR WEEKS OUT

- BY DAVID McDONNELL BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA

FOR Paul Pogba, the shackles are off now he is no longer burdened by being the world’s most expensive player.

WILFRIED ZAHA could be sideline for up to a month. The Crystal Palace winger left Selhurst Park on Saturday with a brace on his right leg and a plaster covering his kneecap following a 3-0 defeat to Huddersfie­ld in new boss Frank De Boer’s first league game in charge. Zaha (below) had hoped he would be back in time to play at Liverpool on Saturday. But a scan yesterday revealed the injury was more serious then he first thought and the 24-year-old will need about four weeks to recover. As well as missing the trip to Anfield, Zaha – the most-fouled Premier League player – is ruled out of a League Cup tie against Ipswich and a home clash with Swansea.
