The Frenchman, who is Eagles\u2019 top scorer, was taken off on a stretcher in the 15th minute after being caught by a high challenge from Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts, who was awarded a straight red card for serious foul play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We are very pleased to confirm that JP Mateta has this evening been discharged from St George\u2019s Hospital, where he received specialist treatment and 25 stitches to a severe laceration to his left ear. All scans were clear and JP is feeling well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"He will now rest and recuperate over the following days where his progress will be monitored by our club doctor,\" the club said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mateta\u2019s replacement, Eddie Nketiah scored a brilliant cushioned header late on as Palace advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals. That now makes it back-to-back matches that summer signing Nketiah has scored in, with his first Premier League goal for the Eagles coming against Aston Villa on Tuesday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mateta will hope to return for Palace's following Premier League fixtures in April, with the striker only four off equalling his record tally of 16 goals set last season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Thank you all for your kind messages. I'm doing well. I hope to be back very soon. And stronger than ever. Well done, guys for the great job today. I love you. JP\" Mateta posted on social media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Palace head coach Oliver Glasner says he expects Jean-Philippe Mateta to miss next Saturday's Premier League match at home to Ipswich Town.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Thank you all for your kind messages. I'm doing well. I hope to be back very soon. And stronger than ever. Well done, guys for the great job today. I love you. JP\" Mateta posted on social media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
