Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish have provided an update on defender Pape Souare this evening, this comes two days after the defender was involved in a serious road traffic collision on the M4 over the weekend.
The 26-year-old was cut out of his Mercedes G63 on Sunday afternoon, shortly after midday when his car collided with another vehicle. He was airlifted to the Royal Hospital London with non-life threatening injuries, with the Eagles defender being the only person being injured in the incident.
“Pape Souare has this morning undergone surgery on both his jaw and thigh,” a club statement confirmed this evening.
“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 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.”
