  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Palace have agreed terms with former Frankfurt manager Glasner, reports, amid a health scare that saw Hodgson hospitalised. The ex-England boss fell ill during training on Thursday amid intense speculation over his future and the report claims the two parties have agreed to part ways, with Paddy McCarthy to take charge of Monday night's clash with Everton.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Given Hodgson's health, Palace are said to be acutely aware of the sensitivity that comes with announcing a new manager, so it remains unclear when Glasner will be moving to Selhurst Park. He won't be in the dugout for the clash with Everton but he has agreed a deal until 2026 with a salary of £4 million ($5m).
