WILFRED ZAHA was forced off in Crystal Palace’s clash with Newcastle.
The winger pulled up during an Eagles attack and then hit the ground in frustration.
Zaha then received treatment on what could possibly have been a pulled hamstring during the match.
After some help, the 30-year-old re-entered the fray.
However, he did not last long as he went down again in the 63rd minute and was replaced by Michael Olise.
Zaha made his way gingerly around the pitch with the physio applauding the fans as he made his way to get some treatment.

Despite Zaha going off, Palace were able to earn a respectable point against Newcastle.
The Eagles held on for a goalless draw against 3rd placed Magpies, which saw them stay 12th in the table.
Manager Patrick Vieira will be hoping his talisman is not out for too long.
Zaha has scored six times in 19 Premier League appearances this season.

These goals have helped the South London side avoid being sucked into the relegation battle so far.
However, if the club goes on a poor run of form they could find themselves looking over their shoulders very quickly.
Vieira could even be motivated to dip into the transfer market for a new attacker should Zaha’s injury be a serious one.
The club are on the lookout for potential replacements for him as his contract at Selhurst park expires at the end of the season.
