Jean-Philippe Mateta will make his first Crystal Palace appearance on Saturday since being hospitalised with a lacerated ear, with Oliver Glasner confident the striker has not been psychologically affected by the incident.
Mateta was kicked in the head by Millwall’s goalkeeper Liam Roberts in the FA Cup fifth round four weeks ago and required 25 stitches. Roberts, who was sent off, received a six-match ban.
