In the match against Crystal Palace, Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts committed a rough foul that injured opponent Jean-Philippe Mateta, and this action could lead to a severe punishment.
Details: According to the Daily Mail, the Football Association is considering the application of a "clearly insufficient" penalty - a measure reserved for truly exceptional cases where the standard three-match suspension is deemed inadequate.
Currently, the main body of English football is gathering reports before convening a regulatory commission, which will decide whether to increase the suspension.
Reminder: As a result of the clash with Roberts, Mateta suffered a torn ear injury, which required 25 stitches.
