REUTERS - Crystal Palace striker Loic Remy has been ruled out of Saturday's visit to Middlesbrough with a thigh injury, manager Alan Pardew confirmed on Thursday.

Remy, who suffered the injury during training on Monday, is yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

"Unfortunately, Loic got injured on Monday and the seriousness of that, I don't know. But he's not going to be involved this weekend, so it's a bit of a blow," Pardew told Sky Sports.

"He's just got a little thigh strain. I don't know how long he's out for, but he's had a scan on Tuesday morning and I'll know more today."

The 29-year-old France forward joined Palace from Chelsea on a season-long loan last month, having largely found himself on the bench since he joined Chelsea in 2014.

Palace have started their new league season with one point from their opening three games.
