Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is optimistic Jean-Philippe Mateta will recover from his significant ear injury in time to face Fulham in their FA Cup quarter-final at the end of the month.
The French striker required 25 stitches to repair his lacerated left ear after he was kicked in the head by Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts in the follow-through of a challenge early on in their 3-1 fourth-round cup victory last Saturday.
