Souare fears for his career


Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare does not know when he will be able to play again as he continues his recovery from injuries he sustained in a car crash.

Souare broke a bone in his thigh and fractured his jaw when he was involved in a serious accident on the M4 in September.

In the wake of the accident Palace manager Alan Pardew revealed Souare was facing a lengthy rehabilitation but at the time the club were confident the 26-year-old would make a full recovery.

However, the Senegalese left-back admits he does not know if he will ever be able to return to fottball.

"I don't know about my injury. I don't know if I can get back or not," Souare told the BBC World Service.

"Sometimes I think I was very lucky because it was crazy and it could have been worse for my career or my life.

"The injury was very bad... it could have been worse. My leg broke and with my jaw, I couldn't eat for the first month. Now, I can eat.

"I remember the helicopter coming to get me. I remember the door on my leg ... I remember they cut the roof to take me out."
