Giorgio Scalvini gets hurt: goodbye European

Giorgio Scalvini gets hurt: no European

No European Championship for Giorgio Scalvini: the Atalanta defender was injured in the end of the match against Fiorentina, a Serie A championship rematch, and was forced off the field due to a knee trouble. The Nerazzurri player è returned to the locker room without a stretcher but helped by the medical staff: the problem è immediately appeared serious.

Examinations sustained in the following hours unfortunately confirmed the worst case scenario: the young central of the Bergamasque team è ruptured the cruciate ligament in his left knee, and will therefore have to skip the continental review scheduled in Germany starting June 14. "After the match against Fiorentina Giorgio Scalvini è was immediately subjected to diagnostic tests that showed the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. In the coming hours, the player will undergo further clinical-specialist evaluation to define the next and suitable course of action,", è the Atalanta note.

Spalletti thus has to cope with another Azzurri forfeit in defense after that of Francesco Acerbi, who underwent surgery for pubalgia: the coach has already alerted Juventus player Federico Gatti, who could soon be summoned for the Coverciano gathering.

Italy begins its European Championship on June 15 in Dortmund against Albania; on the 20th it will take the field against Spain, on the 24th it is scheduled to play Croatia.
