4 to 5 months of absence. The verdict fell on Sunday for Jamal Musiala, who should therefore not replay before the last weeks of this year 2025, victim of a fracture of the fibula during a shock with Gianluigi Donnarumma on Saturday. Images that shocked everyone, starting with the Italian goalkeeper, who seemed to be sounded by the way the German ankle had turned. And above all, this intervention by the Parisian goalkeeper has aroused strong reactions in the world of football.
“This is a situation where we accept the risk of hurting the player. A situation where, in my opinion, you should not get involved. But hey, we cross our fingers so that it is not too serious, even if it will certainly be. Getting started on the player is taking a risk. He simply accepts the opponent's injury. And afterwards, nothing happens, no sanction ”had for example railed Manuel Neuer.
Donnarumma feels bad
Others, like Thibaut Courtois, have defended the Italian: “Accusing Donnarumma for Musiala's injury seems excessive to me,” said the Belgian in the mixed zone. The guards will look for the ball. The attackers do not hold back when they come to us. It is a blow of fate. It will hurt him even more (in Neuer, editor's note) because he is a teammate, but Donnarumma is not responsible ”. This Monday, La Gazzetta dello Sport was able to publish the first words of Donnarumma on this subject, he who had not yet expressed himself if not via a brief post on Instagram. “I am very shaken by what happened, it was certainly not my intention to injure Musiala”launched the Parisian goalkeeper. Simple and concise.
His agent Vincenzo Raiola also wanted to defend his client and was more talkative: “It is a question of tenths of a second. It only takes a moment for the stop turning into a fault on a penalty spot. Gigio caught the ball first and could no longer avoid the tackle. It is unfair to think that he wanted to harm Musiala who, we hope, will recover as quickly as possible to come back stronger than before. Gigio is a very sensitive guy. He would not have been able to maintain the scene and preferred to move away to let the doctors take care of Musiala as best he could. Once in the locker room, he even turned on his phone. In the many years we have worked together, he has never done this. He generally extinguishes it an hour before kick -off to focus on the match and rereads it after the match. This time, he sent me a message to tell me that he was shaken and that he had not done it on purpose “. The message has passed.
