"We have been a little unlucky during this last period," he said at the press conference that he was preparing before the match, before the Palace match against Arsenal on Sunday.
"It all started with Mamadou [Sakho], so we lost James [Tomkins] and now we have lost Jeff [Schlupp], which is of course three big shots for us.
"It will not play anymore this season, the ankle injury is such that it will take about three weeks for us to remain [to heal].
"Fortunately, we do not have a lot of other injuries to deal with, but we're at the point, but I guess we're not alone in this regard because the teams are exhausted by the end of the season.
"The worst thing about these things is that it always happens to the players in the same positions, we are certainly in a tight state right now in our defensive positions, we are exhausted in the middle of the field and in for now, luckily we have competition for places. "
Schlupp, who can play in defense or midfield, has already scored 37 goals for the Eagles this season in all competitions, scoring five goals.
