WATCH | The Moment When Gianluigi Donnarumma Was Brutally Hit On The Face

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's face was bloodied in the 17th minute of Wednesday's Ligue 1 match between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Louis II after he was struck by an opponent's cleat. After stealing Wilfried Singo's cleat studs, the Italian international sustained injuries. When the Monaco player attempted to leap over the sliding Donnarumma after his shot was blocked, Singo struck his face instead.

While being treated, Donnarumma was left lying on the pitch. When he eventually got up and left, Matvey Safonov took his place. According to photos, Donnarumma had a cut beneath his right eye. Singo, who had previously received a warning, was fortunate to escape a red card. Donnarumma walked off the field and was replaced by Matvey Safonov.
