Roy Hodgson taken ill as Crystal Palace news conference ahead of Everton cancelled
Crystal Palace were forced to cancel Roy Hodgson's pre-Everton press conference after the 76-year-old fell ill during this morning's training session.
In a social media post via X, Palace said: "Unfortunately, today's press conference will no longer take place as scheduled as Roy Hodgson was taken ill during this morning's training session."
