Solanke will not go on loan to Palace. Here is what Roy Hodgson had to say about it.
"It is a club decision, We were interested, I think he is a good player. It turns out there are complications, other factors involved in it, and the club decided in the end it was not the right moment for us to be doing it.
I do feel a little bit disappointed for the player, because I think at one stage he made up his mind in our favour. So it looked as if it was going to work out, but it didn't work out in the end. These are things you accept as a manager, because there are always elements that are beyond a coach's control."
Edit: BBC saying that Palace are worried about Solankes fitness. He's currently out with a groin strain.
