Exclusively:Hodgson calls for Precious stone Castle to reinforce in January move window to help drained crew

The Royal residence manager is presently without various first-group regulars

Roy Hodgson has urged Crystal Palace to strengthen a “seriously depleted squad” during the January transfer window

The Eagles’ manager has been under a lot of pressure in recent weeks, and Palace fans were especially vocal about their dissatisfaction after the team lost to Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.

Hodgson’s Palace have won just two of their 12 Premier League games, placing them 15th in the table and seven points above the relegation zone, despite their improved performance against Liverpool last weekend.

Wounds have hampered Royal residence this season, with Michael Olise simply ready to make three Association begins and Eberechi Eze is right now uninvolved briefly spell in the wake of getting a lower leg issue recently.

Odsonne Edouard, Cheick Doucoure and Sam johnstone are among those also unavailable, with Hodgson revealing that there are likely to be four academy players on the bench when Palace travel to face Manchester City on Saturday.

It’s nothing unexpected in this way that the Royal residence supervisor is quick to see the club support choices when the exchange window opens one month from now.

It seems to me that that’s an ongoing process,” Hodgson stated. “All clubs have a very strong department in terms of recruitment and scouting.

“Sometimes [that] gets accelerated at a time if a club finds itself in a situation where there are a lot of players who might need to be replaced for one reason or another. As a result, the risk becomes a little bit stronger because you suddenly start to realize that our squad has been seriously depleted and that we have to do something about it in order to get back up to strength.

We may be in that position more frequently than other clubs, in my opinion. However, in terms of the work that takes place behind the scenes, which is orchestrated by Doug Freedman and scouted by Steve Parish himself as well as a large number of others, that process is definitely ongoing.
