The serious cut on Gianluigi Donnarumma’s face caused emotions to heat up after the game between Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco (4:2).
The Italian national goalkeeper apparently accidentally received opponent Wilfried Singo’s stud in the face in the early stages of the French league game. Singo had tried to jump over Donnarumma. Paris’ captain Marquinhos then criticized the rules officials.
Marquinhos: “Not giving red is hard”
“I don’t know if the referee was wrong, but the VAR should have been called. You have to protect the players,” said the Brazilian. “Not giving red in a situation like this is tough.” Referee Francois Letexier did not sanction the Monaco defender.
Donnarumma was treated with braces on the pitch on Wednesday evening – he left the stadium with a bandage on his cheek. A photo from Donnarumma subsequently showed a large scar on the 2021 European champion’s face.
The goalkeeper has one “Facial trauma with multiple wounds” suffered, it was said that night – he should undergo further examinations during the course of Thursday.
