Discipline: Singo not excluded but still suspended for the next PSG/Monaco

Wilfried Singo will not meet Gianluigi Donnarumma on January 5 in Doha, if the Italian goalkeeper is fit to play this match. The Ivorian defender, who involuntarily slashed Donnarumma's face on Wednesday evening during Monaco/PSG, will be suspended for the Champions Trophy between PSG and the Monegasques at the start of next year.

And if Singo is going to miss PSG/Monaco, it is not for having stepped on the face of the Italian goalkeeper, who came out bleeding and suffering from facial trauma with multiple wounds, as revealed Thursday by PSG in its first medical point on the subject. The Ivorian was in fact not warned about this action by François Letexier and will not be warned after the fact.

“The clear position of the DTA is that Letexier had to show a red card”

A decision which surprised many people and which the man in black did not want to justify after the match, while he had justified himself after the expulsion of Amine Harit against PSG by explaining that intentionality did not count in his judgment from the moment Marquinhos' integrity had been put in danger. A logic that he did not apply on Wednesday in Monaco.

“Could Singo set foot elsewhere, could he do otherwise. This is where there is a lot of sharing between my feelings as a player, as a goalkeeper… There is one observation that is unanimous, which is that it couldn't come out without a card. The clear position of the DTA today is that François Letexier had to show a red card”Mickaël Landreau, who is now spokesperson for the Technical Directorate of Arbitration, told Canal+ on Thursday evening.

Singo will miss PSG/Monaco due to his foul on Désiré Doué

If Singo is suspended for the next PSG/Monaco, it is because of his yellow card received on Wednesday evening a few minutes before his clash with Donnarumma. The Monegasque defender had fouled Désiré Doué and collected his third yellow card over a period of ten matches, which will earn him a suspension on January 5 against PSG, as confirmed this Friday by the LFP disciplinary committee .

As for Donnarumma, some sources have mentioned a possible unavailability of 10 to 15 days, but PSG should say more quickly after the exams taken on Thursday by the Italian, who gave reassuring news on his social networks, assuring that everything was fine. Whatever happens, he will be out this Sunday in Lens in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France.
