JAMIE STERRY played through against Crystal Palace with a HORROR head injury. The Doncaster Rovers star was on the pitch against the Premier League outfit in the FA Cup fourth-round clash. Sterry, 29, started the match at right-back but was forced off in the closing stages. The defender could be seen leaving the pitch with a golf-ball-sized lump on his forehead. He did not seem worried about the issue as he walked off and appeared to be in good spirits.

Sterry was replaced by Tom Nixon as he then received treatment on the swelling. He had been a regular for Grant McCann's side this season with 27 appearances in League Two.

Meanwhile, Doncaster were unable to cause an upset as Palace ran out 2-0 winners.
