Boyce blow for Eagles

Emmerson Boyce is out for the season after breaking his foot in training.

Crystal Palace's bid to beat the drop has been handed a blow with the news that Emmerson Boyce is out for the season.

The 25-year-old full-back has enjoyed a decent campaign since arriving at Selhurst Park in the summer from Luton, but will miss the remainder of the season with a broken foot.

A freak training ground accident has reduced Boyce to the sidelines after he kicked the underside of Mark Hudson's boot in training.

Confirmation of the injury will be of major disappointment to Boyce, with the tough tackler having just put pen to paper on a two-year contract extension.
