Crystal Palace are facing a nervous wait to find out how injured Terek Mitchell is before what is arguably their biggest game in many years.
This of course comes with the Palace who will face Chelsea on Sunday 17y From April in the FA Cup semi-finals.
The Eagles reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1995, after beating Everton 4-0 in the quarter-finals last month.
And while Palace are certainly an underdog on their way to the match, they can probably imagine their chances of a score because, this season, they have already lost and drawn with Manchester City, before recently thrashing Arsenal 3-0.
However, they may have to face Chelsea without the services of the main defender, Terek Mitchell.
Mitchell has been a mainstay in Palace’s defense this period and his impressive form earned him an England call-up and debut during the international break in March.
Unfortunately for Palace, Mitchell had to be sacked at the weekend during the loss to Leicester City.
And now, Evening Standard Mitchell is reported to be facing a nervous wait to see if he will be fit for the Chelsea game after sustaining a calf injury against the Foxes.
He added that Mitchell is scheduled to undergo tests on Monday to determine the extent of the problem.

Michael Ulis also doubt against Chelsea
Elsewhere, Crystal Palace is still drenched in sweat due to Michael Olizzi’s fitness ahead of the Chelsea game.
Olise has been an important member of the capital’s squad this season, especially in the FA Cup where he scored two goals and assisted three in four matches.
But he missed the club’s 3-0 win over Arsenal and the loss to Leicester on Sunday after withdrawing from the France Under-21 squad due to an infection in his left foot last month.
Now, though, according to Evening StandardCrystal Palace will hope Olezzi will be fit in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
