Crystal Palace are concerned that Yohan Cabaye will not be fit to face Manchester United on Saturday.
The 27-year-old midfielder pulled out of Wednesday's Capital One Cup defeat at Manchester City despite travelling with the squad.
Jason Puncheon is a doubt after missing the game through illness, while manager Alan Pardew also confirmed that Connor Wickham, Marouane Chamakh and Pape Souare will miss the game at Selhurst Park.
Pardew said after the 5-1 loss at the Etihad: "Cabaye was injured and we're sweating on him for Saturday.
"[Jason] Puncheon was ill and [James] McArthur's wife is due to have their child tonight.
"Connor and Chamakh are both training but they won't make Saturday for sure. Pape, same again, and he is an important player for us down that left-hand side."
Joe Ledley, Mile Jedinak and Jordon Mutch all started against City in the absences of Cabaye, Puncheon and McArthur.
