MILLWALL goalkeeper Liam Roberts is facing the prospect of a longer ban for his challenge which hospitalised Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Roberts was sent off after kicking Mateta in the head as the pair raced towards the ball early on in Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie, with Mateta requiring 25 stitches.
The FA confirmed today it had submitted a claim seeking a longer ban for Roberts, stating that the standard three-match sanction for serious foul play was “clearly insufficient” in this case.
