Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock may have to do without Paul Ifill for Saturday's Championship clash with Colchester at Selhurst Park.Ifill limped off during the first half of the goalless draw with Cardiff at Selhurst Park on Tuesday after returning to the side following hamstring trouble but was forced off after 23 minutes and was replaced by James Scowcroft, who could keep his place.

Neil Danns (groin), Mark Kennedy (match fitness) and Tony Craig (shoulder) were all absent against Cardiff and are set to miss out again.

Warnock will also be without striker Dougie Freedman after the 33-year-old joined League One side Leeds on loan until the end of the season in a bid to get more first-team football.
