Atalanta, black day: 4-1 Parma and Gianluca Scamacca knocked out
An extremely negative afternoon, which could also change market plans.
Atalanta defeated, Gianluca Scamacca injured and a lot of headaches for Gian Piero Gasperini just ten days after the historic European Super Cup against Real Madrid. Indeed, the Nerazzurri faced the newly promoted Parma in Serie A on Sunday afternoon, and not only had to put on record a painful 4-1 knockout. The most sore note of the day è in fact the injury to their starting center forward, at a particularly uncomfortable moment of the pre-season preparation.
In fact, Scamacca è surrendered to a sprained left knee injury, which could prove to be a particularly heavy tile for Gasperini and his Atalanta team. Specific examinations will in fact be needed to understand the Roman striker's recovery time. Which forò might not even be short, just now that the nerazzurri commitments begin to be particularly onerous.
For this reason, according to 'Sky Sport', Atalanta could even decide to suspend any reasoning on a departure of El Bilal Touré. The latter, who only at the end of last season had managed to carve out some space for himself in Gasperini’s rotation, was given in the crosshairs of Stuttgart and his departure on loan did not seem to be ruled out.
Against Parma, meanwhile, a dull Atalanta friendly had ended in a 4-1 scoreline, the result of goals by Man and Bonny, Lookman's illusory wriggle and then exclamation points from Man himself and Partipilo. A performance particularly negatively received by Gasperini, not surprisingly intercepted by the microphones of 'Sportitalia' as he railed against his players and in particular their poor streak on the field. The main concern, però now concerns Scamacca.
