ROB Holding has been ruled out of Crystal Palace’s games against Newcastle United on Wednesday and Fulham at the weekend after only just returning from injury.
Holding, 26, was back in the Eagles’ match-day squad for their 5-2 win over West Ham United at the weekend.
Former Arsenal defender Holding, 26, has played only once this season, in Palace’s 3-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford last September.
“Unfortunately Rob Holding is injured again,” Palace boss Oliver Glasner said in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
“It is tough because he is just back from injury. We don’t know the degree but it is something with his hamstring, so we don’t know how long it will take.
“He will definitely miss tomorrow’s game and I think Saturday against Fulham. That is the bad news, but the other players are fit.”
Glasner wasn’t fully happy with his side’s display despite thumping the Hammers.
The Eagles were 4-0 up inside 31 minutes.
Glasner said: “We analysed the game on Monday. We showed the players some clips, they did really well.
“We have to be focussed and concentrated all of the time. We defended really well, but in the first half we gave the goal and chances too easily.
“It’s important that we could see in the evening Man United were 3-0 up after 70 minutes [against Championship Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final] but it went back to 3-3. We saw this can happen in football.”
