Crystal Palace have been hit by a heavy injury blow.

The Daily Mail says star midfielder Michael Olise is facing two months out with a hamstring injury.

The France U21 midfielder broke down during defeat to Brighton on Saturday.

Olise had only just returned from a long-term hamstring injury last week. He played and scored in victory over Sheffield United, though had complained about a strain at the end of the game.

Palace medicos had cleared Olise to play on Saturday, but he now faces two months out.
