Crystal Palace have lodged an appeal against the red card shown to Jean-Philippe Mateta during their Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The France international striker was dismissed in the match, leaving him facing a mandatory three-match suspension.
The club confirmed the appeal on Tuesday, seeking to overturn the sending-off decision that could sideline Mateta for upcoming fixtures. The 26-year-old forward has been a key figure for Palace this season, and his absence would be a significant blow to manager Oliver Glasner's attacking options.
An independent regulatory commission will review the appeal in the coming days. If successful, Mateta would be available for selection immediately; if upheld, he will miss the next three league matches.
