"Harry Clifton has had a little bit of a tight hamstring and Joe Ironside is not feeling his best. He has an issue with his hip flexor.
Luke Molyneux got a whack to the ribs which feels a bit sore this morning. When you get hit in the ribs it can stay with you for weeks and weeks. He's a bit tender but I don't think it'll keep him out of the game. Joe might be okay for Monday but definitely Harry and Jay will miss out.
"It's disappointing for us but we'll pick the best team we can to face Palace."
