Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare is recovering in hospital after suffering thigh and jaw injuries in a car crash on Sunday night.
We reported earlier how Souare, who has appeared in three matches this season, had been airlifted to hospital after the collision which occurred on the M4 Motorway.
The club has announced that the 26-year-old Senegal international, who joined the Eagles from French side Litlle in January, will remain in hospital to remain in hospital to be monitored and receive treatment.
A statement on the official Palace website read: "The club are liaising closely with the hospital on his progress and we obviously wish him a speedy recovery. Our thoughts are with Pape and his family at this time."
London's Air Ambulance confirmed that Souare, who did not feature in Palace's 2-1 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday, was airlifted by the service after the road traffic collision on the eastbound carriageway of the M4 motorway.
A Metropolitan Police statement read: "Officers were called shortly before 12:10hrs on Sunday, 11 September to reports of two cars in collision between junctions four and three.
"London Ambulance Service attended and the driver of one of the cars - a man aged in his 20s - was taken to an east London hospital for treatment. His injuries are not life threatening.
"The driver of the other car involved did not require hospital treatment. There have been no arrests."
