Crystal Palace future in doubt for Puncheon after FA Cup bench role

Jason Puncheon's future at Crystal Palace is in doubt after the midfielder was snubbed from Alan Pardew's starting lineup for the FA Cup final.

Puncheon was a surprise omission from the Palace XI for the Cup final against Manchester United but the 29-year-old proved Pardew wrong by handing the Eagles the lead in the 78th minute with a well-taken strike from an acute angle.

Following the game, which Palace lost 2-1 in extra-time, manager Pardew admitted that Puncheon may not forgive him for the snub and now according to reports from the Daily Express, claims have been made that the former Southampton man is currently considering an exit from Selhurst Park this summer.
