Crystal Palace striker Loic Remy suffers injury setback
Friday 25 November 2016 11:04, UK
Crystal Palace will be without Loic Remy for another three weeks at least after the striker suffered a calf injury in training.
The France forward has been out with a thigh problem and has yet to feature for Palace since joining the club on a season-long loan from Chelsea in August.
Palace boss Alan Pardew said: "Like all long-term injuries, Loic has picked up another in a different injury.
"It's a calf injury. That's a disappointment."
Injury problems plagued Remy's career at Stamford Bridge and he started just three games for Chelsea last season.

Meanwhile, Pardew believes his side are not far from returning to winning ways despite five defeats in a row which makes Palace the worst-performing team of 2016.
He said: "Most games have been really tight.
"We had Man City here last week and there was some unbelievable time wasting from them, so we must have threatened them.
"Our problem isn't scoring goals, which is the hardest thing at this level. But we need to stop conceding, particularly the first goal.
"I think our fans are getting frustrated. They're seeing some good performances, but there have been costly errors."
