Ligue 1: Savage blow to Donnarumma’s face during PSG-Monaco: “He suffers facial trauma with multiple wounds”

Being a soccer goalkeeper is a risky profession. You are exposed to balls and when you have to go out to cover a striker you must completely forget about your physical integrity. A clear example was experienced this Wednesday by the PSG goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma who left the Monaco stadium with “facial” trauma with “multiple wounds” after being hit with a ‘squad’ in the face by Wilfried Singo reports Efe.

The Italian international goalkeeper, who had to be substituted for that reason but left the match on his own Louis II stadium in Monaco will undergo “medical examinations” this Thursday to evaluate the extent of the blow and the visible wounds on his face. “He will have to remain inactive for several days,” Paris Saint Germain added in its communication.

For the rest, the Paris Saint-Germain which continues to lead Ligue 1, achieved an important 4-2 victory against a direct rival for the title, Monaco, in this early match on matchday 16.

Desiré Doué put PSG ahead in the 24th minute, then Monaco came back with goals from Eliesse Ben Seghir (53 from a penalty) and Breel Embolo (60), before Ousmane Dembelé (64, 90+7) and Gonçalo Ramos (82 ) gave the victory to the team from the capital.

In the final stretch, when Monaco was losing 3 to 2 in stoppage time, the coach Adi Hüttervery angry, was sent off for his protests when Embolo fell in the area against Marquinhos.

With 40 points, PSG extends its margin over Monaco to 10 points (3rd, 30). Marseille (2nd), with one less game played than both, is also ten points behind the team of Luis Enrique. “Ligue 1 is still very open, just five days ago we only had five points over the others,” recalled the Spanish PSG coach.
