This is an action that will cause a lot of ink to flow. Because the offending player, Monegasque defender Wilfried Singo, did not receive any sanction from referee Mr. Letexier. And because the victim, in this case the Italian goalkeeper of PSG Gianluigi Donnarumma, was very deeply marked on the face by the sole of his opponent.
In a photo that Le Parisien obtained, we see that the Italian, injured in the 17th minute of the Ligue 1 clash between Monaco and Paris, has his face lacerated by his opponent’s crampons. We can clearly see the installation of ten staples on his right cheek.
Mr. Letexier did not sanction Singo’s mistake which is making the rounds on social networks this Wednesday evening, causing a lot of incomprehension and questions.
The match between Monaco and PSG can be followed live with commentary on the parisien.fr website.
