Paris Saint-Germain will have to do without one of its executives to close its 2024 year. Unavailable for the trip to Lens, this emblematic player will not be on the field this Sunday, during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. And his absence could even be prolonged, to the point of compromising his presence for the Champions Trophy scheduled for early January.
This executive is Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper, victim of an impressive shock last Wednesday against Monaco, was hit in the face after contact with Wilfried Singo. The impact left a deep gash in his cheek, requiring ten emergency staples. According to doctors, it will have to remain inactive for 10 to 15 days to allow complete healing.
An absence which deprives PSG of a pillar
With his final match of the year out of reach, Donnarumma took the opportunity to get a head start on his end-of-year vacation. However, this period of forced rest could lengthen if healing does not progress as expected. A possible surgical intervention remains pending, although considered unlikely at this stage.
Uncertainty for the recovery in January
If his absence for the match against Lens will only have a limited impact, PSG hopes that their starting goalkeeper will be ready for the start of 2025. However, his condition will have to be reassessed in the days to come, particularly in view of the Champions Trophy. . This setback reminds us of the extent to which unforeseen events can weigh on the dynamics of a team.
