On-loan Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho suffered an unfortunate injury setback during the Eagles’ Premier League clash against 2nd placed Tottenham Hotspur. Sakho moved to Crystal Palace in January, on a season-long loan deal. He had established himself as an important part of the Palace defence before his injury last night.
He was a vital cog in Crystal Palace’s dream run that has seen them beat Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool in recent weeks. Palace were on a terrific run of 6 wins in 7 games, until they lost 1-0 against Tottenham last night.
The defender must be gutted about the setback as he looked comfortable and motivated on the pitch. He was putting on good performances for the Eagles and it will be difficult for the Frenchman to handle this.
The fans reacted to the news on Twitter and there were mixed opinions everywhere. From Liverpool fans to Palace fans to rival fans, Twitter was full of discussion about Mamadou Sakho. While some were truly disappointed about the news, some fans were rather joking about the defender’s injury. However, the Palace fans were really worried about Sakho’s injury.
We managed to gather some reaction from Twitter and put it together.
