Sam Johnstone appears to mock Crystal Palace in sarcastic Instagram post after being stripped of his No 1 shirt and given a MUCH bigger number

As first reported by Mail Sport earlier this week, Crystal Palace have stripped Sam Johnstone of the No 1 shirt and given it to fellow England goalkeeper Dean Henderson ahead of the new season.

Henderson wore No 30 last season following his £15million move from Nottingham Forest but ended the campaign as the first-choice stopper at Selhurst Park.

After being sidelined with a hamstring injury, Henderson started 18 Premier League matches between December and May, while Johnstone featured in just four top-flight games following the turn of the year.
