Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts is currently awaiting the Football Association's (FA) decision on whether his standard three-match suspension will be extended following a dangerous tackle on Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta during their recent FA Cup fifth-round match.
The incident occurred just five minutes into the game, leading to Roberts' dismissal and raising concerns about player safety. However, referee Michael Oliver needed to use VAR to recognise Roberts' challenge was a red card offence.
The FA is considering invoking a 'clearly insufficient' punishment claim, a measure reserved for truly exceptional cases where the standard sanction is deemed inadequate.
