Mateta was on the receiving end of a kung-fu kick of a challenge from Lions stopper Liam Roberts, who was belated given a red card.
The Frenchman was left bloodied and received treatment for ten minutes before being rushed to the hospital.
He wrote on his Instagram story: “Thanks for all your kind messages.
“I’m doing well.
“I hope to be back very soon and stronger than ever.
“Well done guys for the great job today. I love you. JP.”
