Crystal Palace’s Pape Souare undergoes successful shoulder surgery

Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare has confirmed the successful operation he had on his shoulder.

The Senegal international featured for just 36 minutes in his side’s 1-0 win over Grimsby Town before being substituted due to an injury.

Souare dislocated his shoulder and was subsequently replaced by compatriot Cheikhou Kouyate before Jordan Ayew’s late winner fired Palace to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, the club confirmed that the 28-year-old is expected to be out for two months.

“Quick minor [operation], and it went great can’t wait to get back doing what I love.
