Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is out for up to two months with a back injury.

And that may halt Jack Butland's loan exit plans.

Butland is back from a broken hand and could have been allowed out.

But is now likely to have to stay put to cover for Johnstone.

Butland picked up the injury against Manchester United in a pre-season friendly.

Bournemouth were lining up to sign him at the start of the window, but their interest cooled, says The Sun.

The likes of Rangers and Middlesbrough were also linked with the ex-England international.
