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.

The former Newcastle star has put in some brilliant performances, which have seen him rack up six assists.

He was a part of the Magpies squad that won promotion to the Premier League in 2017.

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

Daniel Munoz netted the opener in the first half before Justin Devenny made it two with a brilliant finish after the break.

Palace star Will Hughes admitted that it was a relief to get through to the next round.

He told the BBC: “It is an old cliche, but we knew it would be a tough game.

“It was really important to get the first goal and we were able to see it out in the end.

“It was a good night all-round.”

Palace will now face Millwall in the next round of the FA Cup after the draw was done before the win over Doncaster.

Fans who wanted to watch the game on TV were left fuming after realising that it was on the red button and not on terrestrial channels.
