Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma sustained a severe facial injury during their 4-2 victory over Monaco in Ligue 1 on Wednesday.
The Italy international was struck in the face by the boot of Monaco defender Wilfried Singo, resulting in deep cuts that required 10 staples to close. The incident occurred in the 22nd minute with the game still goalless. Donnarumma was substituted for Matvey Safonov following the injury.
Despite the severity of the incident, Singo was not penalized, as the challenge was deemed reckless but unintentional.
Reacting to the incident, PSG manager Luis Enrique commented on the refereeing decision:
“The players don’t intend to hurt. It’s difficult to referee this kind of match. I’m not criticizing the refereeing, but such actions are always challenging to assess.”
In a statement released after the match, PSG announced that Donnarumma will undergo medical examinations on Thursday and will need to rest for several days before returning to action.
Despite the early setback, PSG rallied to secure a strong win:
- Desire Doue opened the scoring for PSG.
- Monaco responded with goals from Eliesse Ben Seghir (penalty) and Breel Embolo, taking a 2-1 lead.
- PSG’s Ousmane Dembele scored twice, with Goncalo Ramos adding a header, ensuring PSG’s victory.
The win sees PSG extend their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 10 points heading into the Christmas break.
