Pape Souare has completed a remarkable comeback to football following his horrific car crash last September.

The left-back turned out for Crystal Palace U23s against Nottingham Forest, the first game since breaking his thighbone and jaw on the M4 in 2016.

Souare looked in strong condition on pictures posted on Palace's Twitter, having worked tirelessly to make it back and was able to finally put the gruesome incident behind him.
