Palace boss Warnock admits clearing the air with Puncheon

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is confident there's no problem with Jason Puncheon.

Warnock said he would never have chosen Puncheon for spot-kick duties after the Palace star's awful penalty miss in a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham last term.

Puncheon blasted his former QPR boss on Twitter, leading to a £15,000 fine and an FA warning on future conduct.

The new Palace manager said: "We have had a good talk today and I am delighted with his response.

"He is an important part of the squad. If he gets his head right, he is as good as anyone. He will be involved. I don't envision any problems at all."
