Shocking Incident in Monaco-PSG Match: Donnarumma Injured by Singo
In a dramatic Ligue 1 clash between Monaco and PSG at the Stade Louis-II, Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, suffered a severe facial injury during the 17th minute of play. The incident occurred when Wilfried Singo, Monaco's right back, inadvertently struck Donnarumma in the face with his cleat while attempting to play the ball. The impact left Donnarumma bleeding from his right cheek, prompting immediate medical attention on the field.
Despite the seriousness of the injury, referee Mr. Letexier opted not to issue a red card to Singo, who had already received a yellow card earlier in the match. This decision aligns with the current guidelines for Ligue 1 referees, which suggest that players should not be sent off for actions deemed unintentional or natural. Following the injury, Donnarumma was replaced by Matvey Safonov in the 21st minute and was subsequently taken to the hospital for further treatment.
The match continued with PSG eventually taking the lead through a goal from Désiré Doué, assisted by Achraf Hakimi shortly after Donnarumma's departure. Fans and players alike expressed their concern for the injured goalkeeper, hoping for a swift recovery.
