Wilfried Zaha has been ruled out for a month after suffering a knee injury during Crystal Palace's opening Premier League fixture of the season on Saturday.

Although the 24-year-old completed the full 90 minutes against Huddersfield, he departed Selhurst Park with his right knee in a brace.

It has been reported that Zaha will miss this weekend's trip to Liverpool, as well as a Carabao Cup game with Ipswich and a home league game against Swansea on August 26.

The winger will also be unavailable for two World Cup Qualifiers in early September for the Ivory Coast.

Zaha, who signed a new five-year Palace deal in May, could also miss the trip to Burnley on September 10, which is live on Sky Premier League, and may have to target his comeback for their clash against Southampton the following weekend.
