In the match between Crystal Palace and Millwall in the FA Cup (England) last night (March 1), player Jean-Philippe Mateta had to leave the field early and go straight to the emergency room after a terrible collision. The French striker received 25 stitches in his left ear.
"All scan results are fine. Mateta is well and will rest and recover in the coming days while doctors monitor his progress," Mateta's club Crystal Palace announced this morning (March 2).
Mateta was hit by the goalkeeper.
The 1997-born player collapsed to the ground after colliding with Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts. While running to clear the ball, Roberts jumped up with one leg raised high.
The Millwall goalkeeper hit the ball, but his foot followed the momentum and kicked straight into the opponent's head. As he fell, Roberts' body also landed on his opponent's head.
The collision left Mateta lying motionless on the pitch. The medical team had to carry the French player off on a stretcher, after immobilizing his neck. The Crystal Palace striker was admitted to hospital in a conscious state.
Coach Oliver Glasner said: "To be honest, I don't want to watch that play again. I believe the Millwall goalkeeper did not intentionally injure Mateta. However, clearing the ball with such intensity, with such a high leg, is not allowed. It's too dangerous."
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish called it the worst foul he had ever seen, and said Mateta could have been in danger of losing his life after being hit like that.
