Crystal Palace's wantaway keeper Alex Kolinko has been fined two weeks wages for his no show last week. Alex Kolinko's no show at a recent game for the Eagles as landed him a two week fine from Simon Jordan and Trevor Francis.

The incident in which Kolinko made himself look rather daft at was a home game against Leicester , in which he said he wouldnt play as late as 1pm on the eve of the match

Manager Trevor Francis has slapped the fine on him but has still given the bad boy keeper an olive branch.

Francis said "Alex is currently away on international duty but he will train with us on Friday. I understand he's been fined two weeks pay."

"My philosophy is that whoever's on the payroll, if they can help us win games I will play them and I think he can help us." Francis added
