Cruciate ligament rupture! Italy youngster out for European Championships
Italy's national team has suffered another setback ahead of the European Football Championships in Germany. Atalanta Bergamo defender Giorgio Scalvini will miss the European Championships. The 20-year-old suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee in the last game of the season against AC Fiorentina on Sunday, as the Italian FA announced on Monday. This makes the Europa League winner the next defender who will miss the Italians at the European Championships.
As was announced last week, Francesco Acerbi from Italian champions Inter Milan is also out. Acerbi is suffering from persistent inflammation of the pubic bone. According to the Italian Football Association, 25-year-old Federico Gatti will now replace him and strengthen the "Squadra Azzurra".
Defending champions
As defending champions, Italy will face Albania, Spain and Croatia in Group B. At Euro 2021, the Italians defeated hosts England on penalties in the final in London.
