Officially.. Mateta to miss 3 matches for Crystal Palace due to red card

Crystal Palace have suffered a major blow with the confirmation that French forward Jean-Philippe Mateta will miss the next three matches following the red card he received during the clash against Tottenham.

Mateta was sent off in the 13th minute of the match after a violent challenge on a Tottenham player, leading the referee to issue a red card following a review by the Video Assistant Referee.

The French forward will miss three consecutive matches due to suspension, presenting a challenge for the Crystal Palace coaching staff to compensate for his absence in the attacking line.

Mateta will miss the following matches: "Liverpool - Coventry - Hull City."

Mateta's absence is a significant loss for Crystal Palace, as the team needs impactful attacking options in the upcoming phase.
