Why Crystal Palace star was forced to sit out FA Cup celebrations after helping club make history at Wembley

There were unforgettable scenes as Crystal Palace made history at Wembley on Saturday... but not every player was able to join in the jubilant on-pitch celebrations.

While Eberechi Eze danced in front of delirious fans and Dean Henderson was mobbed by team-mates after his penalty heroics, another of the Eagles' key performers was ushered away for precautionary medical checks following the final whistle.

Having shaken off a recent injury scare to start the biggest game of his career, he was struck in the head by a thunderous Kevin De Bruyne shot late on and had to be assessed for concussion.
