The co chairman missed the game against Manchester City and vice chairman Karren Brady then reported on Twitter he had  been admitted.

But talking to a follower on Twitter who wished him well despite “differences” on occasions Gold replied: “Yes we have our differences but we both have our clubs best interest at heart.

“I’m on the mend but I thank for your best wishes. dg”

The co chairman spent a lengthy spell in hospital with pneumonia back in 2013 but told ClaretandHugh: “I’m not too bad and recovering. I hope to be at the Palace game but we will see how things go.
