Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was taken to hospital after a wildly reckless challenge from Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts just eight minutes into Saturday's FA Cup fifth-round clash.
Palace chairman Steve Parish confirmed to the BBC at half-time that Mateta had a gash behind his ear and was at a local hospital receiving further treatment as he expressed his anger at the tackle, which saw Roberts sent off.
Roberts rushed outside the 18-yard box and leaped to clear a long ball but his high left-footed follow-through struck Mateta in the side of the face.
