      Sam Johnstone is set to miss the rest of the Premier League season and the European Championships due to injury.

      The Crystal Palace goalkeeper will require surgery on an elbow that is set to keep him out of action for 15 weeks according to Sami Mokbel of The Daily Mail.

      Johnstone was likely to be Gareth Southgate's backup goalkeeper at Euro 2024 where he would have deputised for first choice Jordan Pickford. 

      Aaron Ramsdale will likely become the new number two while James Trafford was also called up to the England squad following Johnstone's departure.

      At club level, Palace will have to rely on Dean Henderson for the remainder of the season with Remi Matthews the only other senior shot-stopper.

      As a football fan, I'm gutted to hear that Sam Johnstone will miss the rest of the Premier League season and the Euros due to injury. He's been a reliable backup for Pickford and it's a blow to the England squad. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

      As a football fan, it's devastating to hear that Sam Johnstone will miss the rest of the Premier League season and Euro 2024 due to injury. He was a strong contender for the backup goalkeeper spot and now we're left with Aaron Ramsdale and James Trafford. Wishing Johnstone a speedy recovery and hoping Dean Henderson can step up for Palace.

      Wow, such disappointing news for Johnstone and England. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Ramsdale and Trafford have big shoes to fill, but I have faith in Southgate's selection.

      Wow, this is a massive blow for Johnstone and for England. He's been in great form for Palace this season and was set to play a crucial role for the national team at Euro 2024. Wishing him a speedy recovery and hoping Ramsdale can step up to the challenge as the new number two. Tough break for Palace too, having to rely on Henderson and Matthews in goal for the rest of the season.
