Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew admits Jonny Williams' season could be over.

Pardew is not sure whether Williams will play first-team football again this season, having been sidelined since November with a groin problem.

"I think he will return before the end of the season but whether he can play in the first team I don't know because he needs some football," said Pardew.

"I have only seen him from a distance as an opposing manager and I really like the way he plays."
