Crystal Palace Manager Roy Hodgson Hospitalized, Future Uncertain

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson was taken to the hospital after falling ill during a training session. The incident occurred at the club's training headquarters in Beckenham, south London. Hodgson, 76, received immediate medical care on-site before being transported to the hospital for further treatment and tests. Although there are positive signs of his recovery, Hodgson will not be able to lead the team in their upcoming match against Everton. Assistant coaches Ray Lewington and Paddy McCarthy will take charge in his absence.

This health scare comes at a time when Hodgson's future at Crystal Palace is uncertain. The club has reportedly decided to end his tenure amid supporter discontent. Talks are underway with Austrian coach Oliver Glasner to replace Hodgson on a two-and-a-half year contract. However, the club is also mindful of showing respect to Hodgson, who has served the club admirably during two separate reigns.

Hodgson's health has been a concern in the past, as he previously missed a match due to illness. Sources indicate that he may consider stepping away from the sport indefinitely, but he will seek medical advice before making a final decision. The club is expected to make an announcement regarding the new manager soon, with Glasner being the frontrunner for the position.
