British daily newspaper Daily Mail reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'They were suspended by the club for reporting the news of Millwall supporters who mocked Jean-Philippe Mateta during the recent FA Cup match against Crystal Palace.
Millwall recently played Crystal Palace in the FA Cup at Selhurst Park. In the match, Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta crashed into Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts. The fallen Mateta was carried off on a stretcher, wearing an oxygen mask and surrounded by paramedics. After the hospital's evacuation, he stitched 25 needles.
The problem was the chant of Millwall supporters. They mocked Mateta, who was carried away on a stretcher, shouting "Let him die". Not only Mateta, but also Palace defender Ben Chilwell was under fire for swearing with gay expressions. The England Football Association said it cannot punish Millwall supporters for their slogans against Mateta, but that it is investigating the mockery of Chilwell.
The Daily Mail explained that they were suspended from Millwall as they attempted to reach out to Roberts for comment on the incident and that they did not report that the Palace supporters shouted "let him die" when Millwall Camiel Negley injured his ankle 30 minutes after the incident.
After the game, Roberts was under heavy fire online and offline. Millwall said in a statement that he was disgusted by the violence directed at Mateta. Some celebrities and the media's handling of the issue is also encouraging undue personal attacks and hatred,' he said, expressing his displeasure. Then 'Roberts never intended to hurt Mateta. He has already apologized himself. I wish Mateta a good recovery.'
