ROY HODGSON is "feeling better" after being taken ill ahead of Crystal Palace's clash at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
The Eagles boss, 76, was forced to miss the trip to Villa Park.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instead, his assistants Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington took charge in the dugout as the team succumbed to a 3-1 defeat.<\/p>\n
And McCarthy confirmed Hodgson is making progress as he issued an update for concerned supporters following the loss. <\/p>\n
The Irishman said: "Roy is feeling better and we are hopeful he will continue to feel better and be back with us sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
"We had contact with him before the game and we will speak to him now after the game as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"All the preparation was done with Roy. <\/p>\n
"After breakfast and before the pre-match meal he felt a bit unwell, and that\u2019s when we found out. We continued to prepare."<\/p>\n
It is unclear if Hodgson was able to watch the Premier League drama unfold.<\/p>\n
The former England boss would have been delighted to see Odsonne Edouard give the South London club the lead just two minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
