Marquinhos’ fears are confirmed. While the defender said he feared the withdrawal of Gianluigi Donnarumma for the trip to Lens, Sunday in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, during his passage in the mixed zone, the verdict fell at the end of the evening. Hit violently in the face by Wilfried Singo’s crampons during a face-off in the 17th minute, the Italian goalkeeper will have to observe several days of forced rest.
Replaced immediately by Matvey Safonov this Sunday, December 18, “Gigio” suffers from several wounds on the right joy. He left the Stade Louis-II at the same time as his partners after the match, his cheekbone covered with a large white bandage.
In a press release published on its official website, PSG provides news. “Victim of facial trauma with multiple wounds, Gianluigi Donnarumma will return to Paris this (Wednesday) evening with the team. He will undergo medical examinations tomorrow and will have to remain inactive for several days,” writes the capital club. The exact duration of his unavailability remains to be determined, but it is already certain that he will no longer play in 2024.
At best, his return will take place for the Champions Trophy on January 5, against the same Monaco team, in Qatar. In the absence of Donnarumma, Luis Enrique will have to rely on Safonov or Arnau Tenas to keep the Parisian cage against RC Lens.
