Steve Parish: Pape Souare "expected to make full recovery"

Pape Souare is "expected to make a full recovery" after undergoing surgery on his thigh and jaw, two days on from a car crash on the M4.

Crystal Palace have revealed that Pape Souare has undergone surgery after being involved in a car accident, but is expected to be discharged from hospital on Friday.

The 26-year-old was involved in a two-way collision on the M4 near Heathrow Airport at the weekend and had to be airlifted to hospital.

Palace boss Alan Pardew was initially concerned that the full-back may have broken his leg in the crash, though chairman Steve Parish is hopeful that Souare can make a quick recovery after an operation on his thigh and jaw.

"Thanks to the fantastic response of the emergency services who cut him from the car and the amazing surgeons, doctors and staff at the Royal London Hospital," Parish told the club's official website.

"He is expected to make a full recovery and should be discharged on Friday. We would like to make special mention of the London Air Ambulance service who flew Pape directly from the scene to the hospital ensuring that he rapidly had access to the very best medical care.

"The club note that this organisation is a charity and completely funded from donations as such we are making a contribution and would urge everyone to support this invaluable service for the people of London."

Souare joined Palace from Lille in January 2015 and has made a total of 55 appearances for the club, including four games so far this season.
