NEIL Warnock has slammed the tackle that has left Palace midfield star Jonny Williams facing up to a month on the sidelines.
The 21-year-old was on the end of a hefty challenge from Watford defender Joel Ekstrand while on loan for Ipswich Town last weekend. It left him in agony before limping off.
It is believed Warnock wanted to recall Williams from his loan to face Liverpool next Sunday.
However, the Welsh international is set to receive treatment back at Palace and the injury is likely to keep him out until the first week of December.
"It was a disgrace and it looks like he'll be out for a month – it was a terrible tackle on him," Warnock told the Advertiser.
