Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after the club confirmed he will require surgery on a knee ligament injury.
Wickham, 23, was forced off on a stretcher after 52 minutes of Palace's dramatic 5-4 defeat at Swansea City on Saturday.

He left the Liberty Stadium on crutches with his right knee heavily strapped, and a subsequent scan has revealed he will be now out of action for a significant period.
