Mateta 'in the best hands' and being looked after by his mother

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has revealed that "everybody is in touch" with Jean-Philippe Mateta, after he was carried off with a head injury during last Saturday's FA Cup win over Millwall.

The striker is set to miss Ipswich Town's visit to Selhurst Park on Saturday, but it is hoped he will be available after the international break - which runs from 17-25 March - as the Eagles head to Marbella for a warm-weather training camp.

When asked about how his team-mates have rallied around him in his pre-match news conference, Glasner said: "To be honest, it wasn't a big topic here in our training ground. Everybody had two days off and everybody is in touch with JP, messaging him.

"I think everyone could see how he was on the evening of that Millwall game. He had already announced that he was all good and everything was fine with him.

"That's how he is - he is such a lovely person - so everyone knows he is doing well and he will be back soon.

"I think his mother has come over from France and she is taking care of him, so he is in the best hands. When your mother looks after you, it is the best thing you can have. He has great support at home so we don't have to take care of him.

"When he goes with us to Marbella, he will also be in good hands and hopefully he will start training with us."
