Crystal Palace Stars Hospitalized After Historic FA Cup Win

Crystal Palace's historic FA Cup victory was marred by injuries to captain Marc Guehi and midfielder Adam Wharton, both of whom were hospitalized and missed the team's post-match celebration. Guehi suffered a severe eye injury with heavy bruising but avoided a fractured eye socket, while Wharton underwent precautionary concussion checks after being struck in the head by a shot from Kevin De Bruyne. Despite Guehi lifting the trophy on the pitch, he was taken to the hospital immediately after the match and missed the club's celebration party. Wharton, recovering from a recent ankle injury, had an outstanding defensive performance but was forced to leave the celebration due to his concussion scare. Both players' absences will test Crystal Palace's squad depth as the Premier League season concludes. Guehi is expected to be fit for England’s upcoming international fixtures, though his availability for Crystal Palace's remaining league games remains uncertain.
