Concerns for Tresoldi: The striker, who is on Milan’s radar, leaves training camp
A moment of concern for Nicolò Tresoldi, the young Bruges forward and a transfer target for Milan. The center forward suffered a head injury during a training session with Germany’s Under-21 team and was forced to leave the national team’s training camp. This decision, made by the medical staff as a precaution, will prevent him from taking part in the upcoming matches against Belgium and Croatia.
The incident occurred during the final training session ahead of the match against Belgium, following a violent head-to-head collision with teammate Hendry Blank. The two collided while attempting to head the ball during a set piece. Tresoldi had even managed to score on the play, but immediately after the impact, he complained of a severe headache. Blank, on the other hand, was diagnosed with a concussion.
The incident was confirmed by Germany’s Under-21 head coach, Antonio Di Salvo, who reassured everyone about the players’ conditions while confirming the need to sit them out. The medical staff preferred not to take any risks, arranging for the two players to return to their respective clubs to undergo further examinations and begin their recovery. At the moment, there do not appear to be any particular causes for concern, but the protocol for head injuries requires the utmost caution.
The injury comes at a particularly positive time for the young forward, who has had an excellent start to the season with Bruges. Tresoldi, 22, has already scored eight goals in the league and five in the Champions League, three of which came in the match against Inter at San Siro. These performances have attracted the attention of several clubs, including Milan, a team for which the striker has never hidden his fondness.
Born in Italy to an Italian father and an Argentine mother, Tresoldi currently plays for Germany’s Under-21 team, but has not yet made a decision regarding his future with the senior national team. The Italian Football Federation continues to follow him closely and hopes to convince him to choose the Azzurri. In the meantime, the setback also delays his chance to close in on a major milestone: Tresoldi has scored 16 goals for Germany’s Under-21 team and is chasing Pierre Littbarski’s record of 18. That pursuit will have to wait until he recovers from his injury.
