BERGAMO — Minute 82, an anomalous movement in an attempt to stem Ikonè’s sprint, e Giorgio Scalvini who falls and is taken away on a stretcher. At the end of the match between Atalanta and Fiorentina, with the result now achieved by the Viola who won in the recovery of a match postponed last March 17 due to Joe Barone’s fatal illness, the Bergamo defender puts his hands in his hair. He manages to get up and walk off the pitch, albeit with difficulty. The tests the defender underwent gave the worst outcome: rupture of the left anterior cruciate ligament. Goodbye European Championships, at least six months to return to the field.

A tile on the day of Atalanta’s celebration for the victory of the Europa League. But also and above all for coach Luciano Spalletti. Just tomorrow Scalvini, born in 2003, was expected at the national team retreat in Coverciano to join the Italian group which has already started working for the next event. At this point Spalletti could call on Federico Gatti who up to this point has continued to train in Turin.
“I’m also sorry from a national perspective – said Gasperini, before knowing the results of the exams –. He’s young, the first injury of his career, the first disappointment: we’ll get him back on his feet better than before.”
