Overview
- Donnarumma was at fault for a near-post goal at RB Leipzig on Wednesday, and he has conceded 12 goals in his past six games across all competitions.
- Manager Enzo Maresca says he has spoken with Donnarumma, believes the player recognises his mistakes, and has kept him as the starting keeper.
- Geronimo Rulli produced an outstanding Carabao Cup display by saving two penalties, increasing selection pressure on Donnarumma for cup and league minutes.
- Former City financial adviser Stefan Borson warned that Donnarumma’s high wages make him hard to sell and could turn him into a costly problem for the club.
- With Donnarumma remaining first choice for the Nottingham Forest trip, the club faces a short-term stability decision and a longer-term dilemma over form, squad balance and transfer options.
