The Football Association have submitted an appeal to extend the three-match suspension of Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts after his horror tackle on Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Roberts was dismissed for serious foul play in the sixth minute of the Lions' FA Cup defeat at Selhurst Park. The stopper's reckless action resulted in Mateta suffering a significant laceration that required 25 stitches.
The appeal was submitted on Tuesday. Roberts has until Thursday to respond.
A statement from the FA read: 'The FA has submitted a claim seeking to increase Liam Roberts’ sanction following his sending off in the FA Cup tie between Millwall and Crystal Palace on Saturday, 1 March.
