Hodgson, sent to hospital on the advice of the Palace medical staff, was able to walk unaided and was speaking to doctors and will undergo further tests. It is the second Premier League game Hodgson has missed this season through illness, and the succession plans Palace had in place have had to be accelerated. He took charge of his 200th match as Palace manager last Monday with his side losing 3-1 at home to Chelsea. Hodgson led Palace to 11th last season, having signed a short-term deal to succeed Patrick Vieira for the final 10 league games. Palace are expected to be without captain Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise for the game against Everton.
