“It’s another element of incredibly bad luck” – Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson on fresh Micheal Olise injury (Video)

Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise missed the first 11 Premier League matches this season due to a hamstring injury.

On Saturday, manager Roy Hodgson threw him into the fray at halftime, with his team 3-0 down against Brighton and Hove Albion, only to be forced to take him off just 11 minutes later – due to a hamstring injury.

Naturally, Hodgson received a lot of criticism for his decision to bring Olise on when the game appeared lost already.

“Injuries do happen… it could have happened at ANY time!”👀
