Crystal Palace Set to Loan Out Veteran Midfielder Before Deadline to Aid Injury Recovery

Crystal Palace are looking to loan our their injury hit club captain Jason Puncheon, as the midfielder looks to revive his stuttering career.

As reported by the Evening Standard, the former Southampton man will be allowed to leave on loan after losing his place in the team.

Puncheon has only just come back from a serious knee injury which had ruled him out for eight months, but with the arrival of Max Meyer and Cheikhou Kouyate in the summer window, the 32-year-old is surplus to requirements.

The Eagles' number 42 has not played since January having picked up the injury in the 0-0 draw against Manchester City, and will need to leave on loan if he is to get any sort of playing time.
