Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma suffered a serious facial injury after being hit by a Monaco player’s studs during their Ligue 1 match.
The Italian goalkeeper had saved Wilfried Singo’s attempt in the first half of the match at the Stade Louis II.
Donnarumma was hit in the face by Singo’s boot after making the save, suffering multiple cuts to his face.
The 25-year-old required medical attention after the collision but was eventually forced off in the 22nd minute to be replaced by Matvei Safonov.
Donnarumma left the field after being treated by PSG’s medical staff.
“We send our best wishes to Gigio, who suffered a serious facial injury and had to leave the match in the first half,” PSG wrote on social media.

The Monaco star avoided a second yellow card after Donnarumma was hit by his studs
Singo avoided punishment for referee Francois Letexier’s challenge for his challenge on Donnaruma.
The Monaco defender escaped a second yellow card after being shown a yellow card in the 14th minute for a foul on Desire Doue.
French exhaust RMC Sports shared images of Donnaruma’s face after he was treated for his injuries.
The goalkeeper reportedly required ten staples for cuts on his right cheek.
Donnaruma had stayed in the tunnel until half-time to protest to the referee about the lack of sanction for Singo’s challenge.
The Italian has played fifteen games for PSG so far this season and has kept four clean sheets.
The reigning French champion recorded a 4-2 win against Monaco on Wednesday.
Doue had opened the scoring for PSG in the 24th minute, before Eliesse Ben Seghir and Breel Embolo struck in the second half to turn the game around for Monaco.

Marseille and Monaco are second and third in the table, with the former having a game in hand.
