Jedinak surprised to lose Palace captaincy

Scott Dann has replaced Mile Jedinak as Crystal Palace captain, but the Australia international is not letting it get him down.

Mile Jedinak revealed he was surprised to find out he had been stripped of the Crystal Palace captaincy.

Palace manager Alan Pardew notified Jedinak last week that defender Scott Dann would replace him as skipper.

Jedinak had captained Palace through promotion from the Championship, and led the team out at Wembley for the FA Cup final in May.

The Australia international said he was shocked to have had that conversation with Pardew, but is looking to move on ahead of the Premier League season, which begins on Saturday.
