It's been gathered the reason Wilfried Zaha did not travel with the Crystal Palace squad for the game with Burnley. 
According to the manager, the Ivory Coast international didn't make the match day squad after testing positive for coronavirus.

The Eagles travelled north for the game at Turf Moor, but star man Zaha was absent from the squad.

Eagles boss Roy Hodgson confirmed that the forward was self-isolating due to a positive coronavirus test.


Palace lost to Burnley at the Turf Moore as Chris Woods scored the only goal of the game in the 8th minutes to lift Clarets out of the relegation zone. 

“He has tested positive unfortunately for coronavirus so is self-isolating, and is awaiting the results of the next test," Hodgson said . "He is not feeling particularly ill, but unfortunately the test proved [positive], and he is following the procedures."

Zaha will be absent from the rest of the Palace squad until he produces a negative coronavirus test.

The trip to Burnley is the first of an eight-game spell between now and the turn of the year.

Following the clash with the Clarets, Palace will take on Newcastle United, West Brom, Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Leicester City.

Palace’s league position is fairly healthy. Prior to kick off at Turf Moor, Hodgson’s side were sat in ninth in the table - with four wins from their opening eight games of the season
