Millwall keeper's ban raised to six games after Mateta horror injury

Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts has been banned for six matches after a dangerous challenge on Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, which led to Mateta needing 25 stitches in his ear, as stated by the Football Association.
The independent regulatory commission upheld the FA's claim, stating that the usual three-match ban was 'clearly insufficient,' according to the FA.
Roberts expressed regret over the incident, stating, 'I am devastated by what happened,' and confirmed he had reached out to Mateta to apologize.
Mateta has been discharged from the hospital and is recovering well, with his manager, Oliver Glasner, noting that Mateta is 'doing well' and could return for the FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham.
