After his serious facial injury suffered against AS Monaco (2-4), Gianluigi Donnarumma underwent examinations this Thursday. Forfeited for the 32nd final of the Coupe de France in Lens on Sunday (9 p.m.), the PSG goalkeeper could be arrested for a few days.

Gianluigi Donnarumma still has to wait a little after the horrible shock experienced at Louis-II. Wednesday evening, in the 17th minute of the match against Monaco which PSG won without much trembling (2-4), the Italian goalkeeper was hit by Wilfried Singo’s crampons and logically had to give up his place to Matvey Safonov. Since then, the one who had ten emergency staples installed and was stitched up almost immediately on the face, has reassured via a message posted on his social networks. Posed with his dog on his sofa – and a bandage on his cheek – he commented: “Everything is fine”.

Possibly ten to fifteen days off?

In a medical press release, the capital club noted “facial trauma with multiple wounds” suffered by its number one goalkeeper, who will undergo medical examinations on Friday and will have to remain inactive for several days. Package for the trip to Lens on Sunday in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (9 p.m.), Donnarumma could still have to be at the center of a new press release, possibly expected on Friday in order to provide new details after examinations.

According to our colleagues from Le Parisien, the capital club would give itself time to see how the injury progresses. The possibility of intervention by a surgeon cannot be ruled out. “It depends on what’s underneath. The unavailability is linked to skin healing, which is at least ten to fifteen days,” a specialist doctor told our colleagues. “If the VAR is there, we have to tell him (the referee, editor’s note). We have to protect the players, I don’t even know if he will be able to play again quickly”, worried captain Marquinhos, Wednesday evening in the corridors of Louis-II, when Gonçalo Ramos deplored that his doorman had not been protected by François Letexier.
