Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray is reportedly facing six months on the sidelines with a knee injury.
The 29-year-old was forced to miss the Eagles' Championship playoff semi-final second leg after getting stretchered off in the first-leg goalless draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The club's top scorer watched Wilfried Zaha, who will join Manchester United in the summer, net two goals to put his side into the final against Watford last night.
Palace chairman Steve Parish confirmed to Sky Sports News that the striker has torn his cruciate ligament, stating that it's a "pretty bad one" and that an operation will be carried out soon.
Murray has netted 30 goals this season.
