The football association seeks to expand the trilingual suspension, which was handed over to Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts, his dangerous challenge on his dangerous palace striker Jean-Philip Matapah.
Roberts was shown at the Red Card on Saturday in the Celhurst Park only after eight minutes later, after the Matapet, who demanded 25 sews on his left ear.
The FA considered the standard three game suspension for a serious Foul Play as a « clearly insufficient » and applied to the regulatory committee in the hope of raising the ban.
Millwall intends to challenge the FA request and to officially answer until Tuesday.
The club’s statement confirmed that they would « continue to support » Roberts, which was « terrible online abuse » after the incident.
If the FA request is given, the Commission will set a new penalty for Roberts. If he was rejected, the initial three-story suspension will stand.
There is a precedent for such cases. In 2023, Fulham striker Alexandar Mitrovich extended his three-story barrier after pushing the manchester United Meosester Carrier.
On the contrary, in 2013, the experience of Chelsea’s priority Eden Hazard was terminated after he was sent to the 17-year-old ball, during the fight against Swansea during the League Cup.
