Adam Wharton forced to miss Crystal Palace's FA Cup celebrations as he's taken for concussion tests
ADAM WHARTON was forced to miss Crystal Palace's FA Cup celebrations after being taken for concussion tests at the final whistle.
Wharton put in a huge performance as Palace beat favourites Man City 1-0 at Wembley to clinch their first-ever trophy.

Oliver Glasner's side made history as the result also sealed a place in next season's Europa League.
The game was full of drama as Ebere Eze gave Palace the lead on 16 minutes.
Dean Henderson then avoided a red card for handling outside the box, being saved by a controversial VAR call.
The Palace goalie then stopped an Omar Marmoush penalty 10 minutes later.
And Henderson, who paid a tearful tribute to his dad later on, was then embroiled in a post-match bust-up with City boss Pep Guardiola.
However, nothing could stop Palace from celebrating their win.
The party started at full-time as jubilant players collected their gold medals from Prince William before holding the FA Cup trophy aloft.
But there was one notable absence on the famous Wembley steps.
Wharton was not present for the trophy lift as he was being checked over by docs for concussion.
The midfielder took a ball in the face from a Kevin De Bruyne shot during the match.

And while pals partied on the pitch with their title, Wharton was being assessed as to whether he was suffering from concussion or not.
Fans were quick to wish Euro 2024 finalist Wharton well.
One said: 'Rapid and quick recovery Adam.'
Another declared: 'Showed great sportsmanship prioritising his health over celebrations.'
One noted: 'Bet he is still super happy.'
Another added: 'Gutted for him, hope he's OK.'

"We want to avoid that as much as possible. That is going to be a key focus going forward, either deciding on when is the right time to cash in on an asset and when is the right time to extend someone's contract, either to grow with us or become an even stronger asset for us."I can understand why situations develop but we have to do our best to try to avoid them."Josh Tymon and Josh Key were two of Swansea's star performers in 2024-25 and are among the club's most saleable two full-backs see their current deals expire next summer, although there club have the option of extending both those contracts by a further 12 asked whether Tymon and Key's contract situations should be addressed sooner rather than later, Montague added: "We will absolutely be talking to those guys as the season begins, in pre-season as well, but we haven't had any conversations yet."
