Crystal Palace has reported that manager Roy Hodgson fell ill during Thursday morning training leading to the cancellation of a news conference. Speculation about Hodgson’s potential sacking has circulated with Palace currently 15th in the Premier League.

Despite recently overseeing his 200th match with a 3-1 loss to Chelsea, Hodgson is expected to lose his job and former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner is a leading candidate for the managerial position. Palace supporters have expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s performance with banners and chants calling for Hodgson’s dismissal.

The club faces Everton on Monday and Hodgson’s illness adds uncertainty to his managerial future.
