MILLWALL goalkeeper Liam Roberts has been hit with an additional three-match ban by the FA.
Roberts was sent off for a horrendous tackle on Crystal Palace star Jean-Philippe Mateta in the FA Cup last weekend.

Mateta received oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he received 25 stitches on his ear.
Roberts was shown a red card by Michael Oliver, upgraded from a yellow following a VAR review.
The keeper was set to serve a three-match ban for dangerous play, but has now been handed a more severe punishment by the FA.
Millwall revealed they were “disappointed” by the decision to extend Roberts’ ban but respect the processes undertaken.
