Donnarumma was left lying on the pitch after the collision after just 17 minutes. His wound was temporarily stitched up and he was forced to leave the match. Ivorian Wilfried Singo, who kicked the sole of his shoe straight into the goalkeeper's face, received no penalty at all. He already had a yellow card from earlier.
I don't know if the referee was in a bad position, but in situations like this, VAR must be used, you have to make sure to protect the players, says Paris team captain Marquinhos.
Not giving a red card in a situation like that, it's crazy, he continues.
Despite Singo going in hard and recklessly into the situation, he claims it was not intentional when he hit Donnarumma in the face. On Thursday morning, the defender went out and apologized.
"I want to apologize to Gianluigi Donnarumma. My actions were of course not intentional, but I realized afterwards that he had a significant facial injury", Singo writes on Instagram, according to NTB, and adds that he wishes the goalkeeper a speedy recovery.
Paris SG announces on its website that the Italian national team goalkeeper will undergo a medical examination on Thursday and that he will not be able to train for several days. The goalkeeper was stitched up with ten stitches, according to NTB.
Donnarumma was substituted for Matvey Safonov and PSG eventually won the match, in Monaco, with 4–2. PSG is still unbeaten in the French league.
