Parr out for 'three to four' months, says Palace co-chairman

CRYSTAL Palace co-chairman Steve Parish has confirmed that left-back Jonathan Parr is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage.

The Norweigan was on the end of a tough tackle from Ipswich Town's Richards Stearman last Tuesday and was substituted soon after.

"Jonny Parr won't be fit for Saturday at Blackburn, he's out for the rest of the season," Parish told Advertiser Sport.

"I think the minute he went over at Ipswich, he doesn't moan, does he?

"He was so obviously in pain and he's now out for four months, and the crowd there were all booing him.

"I had a chat with him in the dressing room on Saturday and he said it's looking at around 3-4 months."
