Jean Philippe Mateta injury video | Mateta carried off with head injury after ‘reckless challenge’

Jean-Philippe Mateta was hit with this challenge during Crystal Palace’s FA Cup tie against Millwall.
Roberts was sent off in the eighth minute after a video assistant referee (VAR) review during Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie, having dashed from his line to clear a long ball but kicked the side of Mateta’s head.

He was taken off the pitch on a stretcher afterwards, we’re wishing him a speedy recovery. ❤️

Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta was at the receiving end of a horror challenge from Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts in their FA Cup encounter and was rushed to the hospital.

The French forward, 27, was treated on the pitch and given oxygen before being taken to an ambulance, with substitute Eddie Nketiah coming on and scoring in the 3-1 win for the Premier League side.

He was set to undergo surgery on his ear in hospital.

Posting on social media, external later on Saturday, Mateta said: “I’m doing well. I hope to be back very soon and stronger than ever. Well done guys for the great job today.”

Millwall’s keeper Liam Roberts was shown a straight red card for this challenge on Jean–Philippe Mateta.

Jean-Philippe Mateta hopes to be “back very soon” after being stretchered off in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup win over Millwall.

The Football Association has condemned some “let him die” chants made towards the Mateta from visiting fans while he was receiving treatment on the pitch, but said they do not breach its regulations.
