Crystal Palace have been dealt a major blow amid fears Eberechi Eze is set to miss six weeks with a hamstring injury, Mail Sport understands.<\/p>\n
The news will also arrive as a disappointment to England boss Gareth Southgate ahead of Thursday\u2019s squad announcement for the matches against Australia and Italy.<\/p>\n
Eze has had an excellent start to the season and has helped spearhead Palace\u2019s attack in the absence of departed Wilfried Zaha and injured Michael Olise.<\/p>\n
The details of how he suffered the injury are unclear – but sources have indicated Eze is set to miss around six weeks after suffering an injury.<\/p>\n
Eze played the majority of Palace’s shock 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, before he was replaced with two minutes to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze has suffered a hamstring injury which will keep him out of action for six weeks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eze’s absence will be a big blow to Roy Hodgson’s side during the upcoming weeks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
News of his injury comes days before Gareth Southgate was due to announce his England squad for their matches against Australia and Italy<\/p>\n
Until then, Eze had played every minute in the Premier League during the opening stages of the new season.<\/p>\n
After his excellent start to the season, there would have been a solid chance of the 25-year-old being selected for England’s upcoming games.<\/p>\n
He made his international debut against Malta back in June, and also made their most recent squad, coming off the bench in England’s 3-1 victory over Scotland.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eze’s injury record has largely been faultless since an Achilles injury which kept him out for six months in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He played in all of Crystal Palace’s 38 Premier League games last season, and will be a big miss for Roy Hodgson’s side in the upcoming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
