Mateta cleared to play in FA Cup tie against Fulham after injury recovery

According to reports in England, Mateta has been cleared to feature in Crystal Palace's upcoming FA Cup tie against Fulham, marking a significant step in his recovery from a recent injury sustained during the team's match against Millwall earlier this month.

The French striker was forced off the pitch following a horrific challenge that left him with an ear injury, causing him to miss several weeks of action. However, after a period of rehabilitation, the Frenchman has been deemed fully fit and is ready to make his return to competitive football.

To protect the injured area, the 27-year-old will play in the FA Cup match wearing a special protective mask, ensuring both safety and comfort as he takes to the field.

The forward's return to action is seen as crucial for Palace, as they look to continue their progress in the FA Cup. His resilience in overcoming the injury and his readiness to return to play exemplify his commitment and determination to help his team in their pursuit of success this campaign.
