Roy Hodgson?s pre-match press conference was cancelled at the last minute on Thursday, with the Crystal Palace manager ?taken ill? amid reports he is about to be sacked.
The 76-year-old, who arrived at the club?s training ground as per usual this morning, was due to face the media at 1.30pm GMT but just half-an-hour before the scheduled start time the press conference was cancelled.
A brief statement from the club read: ?Unfortunately, today?s press conference will no longer take place as scheduled as Roy Hodgson was taken ill during this morning?s training session.?
Later in the day, Palace issued an update on their manager, saying: ‘Following news that Roy Hodgson was taken ill during today?s training session, we can confirm that he is now stable and is currently undergoing tests in hospital.
‘Everybody at the club sends their best wishes to Roy for a speedy recovery.’
The news comes amid growing suggestions that Hodgson will not be in the dugout for Monday night?s Premier League game against Everton, with former Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner set to replace him imminently.
