Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has ruled out a farewell appearance tomorrow for Julian Speroni.

Speroni, who will leave Crystal Palace at the end of this season after 15 years of service, will not be given a farewell appearance this weekend.

“Those sentimental moments are debatable, whether they're the right approach or not," Hodgson said. “But certainly I didn't have a decision to make anyway on that front. Julian's a consummate professional.

“He made it clear to me we should carry on approaching this game in the professional way we've approached all games this season; that he doesn't see any reason he should be the second goalkeeper or put onto the field of play just because it's the last day of the season."
