Crystal Palace duo Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon will miss the rest of the season with “very serious” cruciate knee-ligament injuries sustained in separate tackles on Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne, says boss Roy Hodgson.<\/p>\n

Eagles captain Dann was carried off on a stretcher during Sunday’s\u00a00-0 draw.<\/p>\n

Puncheon was injured in a late tackle on De Bruyne in the final minute.<\/p>\n

“We won’t see them again this season and they may not be ready for the start of next season,” said Hodgson.<\/p>\n

“They’ll both see a specialist and likely undergo surgery once the swelling goes. They are very serious injuries.”<\/p>\n

Both Dann and Puncheon were booked for their tackles on De Bruyne.<\/p>\n

Dann, 30, fouled the Belgium international on the edge of his area, while 31-year-old Puncheon’s came as he tried to stop a City counter-attack after Ederson saved Luka Milivojevic’s injury-time penalty.<\/p>\n

De Bruyne recovered to start\u00a0Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Watford\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Palace, meanwhile, came from behind to\u00a0beat Southampton 2-1\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Hodgson said before kick-off he was “afraid” injuries and the busy festive period had stretched his squad “to the absolute limit”.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game he told BBC Sport: “The chairman and directors are keen to improve our squad to ensure we have what we need.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully our performances have shown that if we get that backing it’ll make us even stronger in this run-in.”<\/p>\n
