Crystal Palace duo Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton missed their side's FA Cup celebrations after being sent to hospital following the 1-0 win against Manchester City.

Eberechi Eze scored the only goal at Wembley as The Eagles secured their first-ever trophy, but the two England internationals were both substituted in the second half.

Guehi was replaced by Jefferson Lerma in the 61st minute after appearing to suffer an eye injury.

However, the 24-year-old defender was able to return to the pitch to lift the trophy alongside Eagles legend Joel Ward at full-time.

After the celebrations died down, Guehi went to hospital, and it has since been reported that he has been diagnosed with severe bruising.

The defender is now a doubt for Palace's two remaining Premier League fixtures.

The Eagles are set to take on Wolves at Selhurst Park on Tuesday before travelling to Anfield to face Premier League champions Liverpool on Saturday.

Guehi could still be fit to represent England this summer, with The Three Lions set to face Andorra and Senegal next month.

Guehi was not discharged from hospital until midnight, according to the BBC, meaning he was unable to attend Palace's FA Cup celebrations at Boxpark in Wembley.

Wharton was also absent from the party and the trophy lifting ceremony after being forced to go to the hospital to check for a concussion.

The former Blackburn midfielder shared a photo of himself in a hospital gown on his Instagram account on Saturday evening.
