Crystal Palace's Yohan Cabaye: Ruled out of Stoke match

Cabaye has been ruled out of Sunday's match versus Stoke City because of a groin injury, the Evening Standard reports.

Analysis:

Cabaye narrowly missed out on last week's match versus Middlesbrough after undergoing a late fitness test, and it appears Sunday's match will come too soon for him as well. Palace could plug recent acquisition Mathieu Flamini into the center of midfield, with Cabaye's next chance to return coming in the form of Wednesday's League Cup Third round tie versus Southampton on Wednesday.
