Jonathan Parr

Crystal Palace full-back Jonathan Parr is out for the rest of the season due to injury.

Parr was challenged badly by Ipswich player Richard Stearman during last week's defeat and hobbled off injured.

Scans later revealed the Norwegian suffered ankle ligament damage which means he will be on the sidelines for three to four months.

The loss of last season's player of the year comes as a blow to the Eagles' promotion charge.

"Jonny Parr won't be fit for Saturday at Blackburn, he's out for the rest of the season," Parish told the Advertiser. "I think the minute he went over at Ipswich, he doesn't moan, does he?

"He was so obviously in pain and he's now out for four months, and the crowd there were all booing him.

"I had a chat with him in the dressing room on Saturday and he said it's looking at around three to four months."
