Crystal Palace fear striker Eddie Nketiah will miss around six weeks with a hamstring injury.

Palace face Liverpool in the Community Shield on Sunday ( kick-off 15:00 BST) before their Premier League opener against Chelsea on Sunday, 17 August.

However, Nketiah will miss the start of the Eagles' captain with the muscular problem.

The former Arsenal striker came off in the pre-season loss to Augsburg on Friday after suffering the complaint.
