From February 28 to March 2, the FA Cup Round of 16 matches are underway. In one of them, specifically the match between Crystal Palace and Millwall, the game escalated to a rough incident.
Details: Already in the eighth minute, Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts saw a red card for a harsh foul on Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The goalkeeper lunged at the Frenchman with his studs directly to the head, resulting in immediate dismissal. Mateta, in turn, was unable to continue the match and was substituted, leaving the field on a stretcher. It is reported that the forward may have a suspected concussion and a fractured jaw.
Reminder: According to the current medical protocol, Mateta could be sidelined for up to two weeks if diagnosed with a concussion.
