Two Crystal Palace players will miss the rest of the season after suffering cruciate knee-ligament injuries in separate tackles on Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne.

Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon were both taken off the field in a 0-0 draw on Sunday 31 December.

Both were booked for their tackles.

Palace manager, Roy Hodgson, spoke after the game: "We won't see them again this season and they may not be ready for the start of next season.

"They'll both see a specialist and likely undergo surgery once the swelling goes. They are very serious injuries."
