Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is stable and undergoing tests in hospital after falling ill during a training session, the Premier League club said in a statement on Thursday.
Palace cancelled a press conference earlier in the day after the 76-year-old former England, Liverpool and Inter Milan manager felt unwell.
“Everybody at the club sends their best wishes to Roy for a speedy recovery,” Palace said.

It also came amid reports the 76-year-old former England coach was set to be fired following a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea on Monday.
“Unfortunately, today’s press conference will no longer take place as scheduled as Roy Hodgson was taken ill during this morning’s training session,” Palace posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Palace has won only four of its last 19 games in all competitions and was five points above the relegation zone.
Hodgson is in his second stint in charge of the London club.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner has been linked with the job.
Hodgson was hired in March last year to replace Patrick Vieira and quickly led Palace to safety. Hodgson was originally in charge of Palace from 2017-21 and then said he was retiring from coaching. He returned for a brief spell at Watford at the end of the 2021-22 season.
