Crystal Palace captain Shaun Derry has been told he will have to undergo a shoulder operation before the end of the season.

Derry has been troubled by the problem for several weeks and boss Neil Warnock thinks it will be in the midfielder's best interests to have the surgery as soon as possible.

"Shaun will need an operation on his shoulder soon and we have to decide when to let him do that," said Warnock.

"It's more than likely to be after the Southampton game. We'll let him have the next few games and then have it done and give James Comley - another youngster - a chance to come into the team."
