Roberts has received a six-match ban after the Football Association the usual punishment was ‘insufficient punishment’
Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts has been banned for six matches following his challenge on Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, which resulted in Mateta requiring 25 stitches. The Football Association (FA) appealed against the initial three-match ban, deeming it insufficient. Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish described the challenge as reckless. Roberts, who denied the charge, has apologized to Mateta. The ban will keep Roberts out until at least April 5th. Millwall has condemned the abuse directed at Roberts.
