Crystal Palace will be without the services of Scott Dann for Saturday’s clash against West Ham, Alan Pardew has confirmed.

Palace boss Pardew revealed the experienced defender is training with the first-team squad but is unable to make the West Ham fixture.

Dann sustained a hamstring injury last month but is expected to return next weekend when the Eagles travel to reigning champions Leicester City.

Pardew said: “Scott Dann won’t make this game. He’s training, so should be available for the next one.

“Other than that we’re okay [for West Ham].”
