Fourth day of training in Coverciano for the national team, which continues its preparations for UEFA EURO 2024. Today Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini were supposed to join the group, but only the Atalanta striker will join his teammates at the Federal Technical Centre. The Nerazzurri defender will in fact have to miss the European Championship after being injured in the final minutes of the championship injury time against Fiorentina: the diagnostic tests he underwent yesterday evening highlighted the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
At lunchtime, together with Scamacca, Federico Gatti will reach Coverciano. Last Friday, after Francesco Acerbi’s withdrawal, the Juventus defender had been alerted by coach Luciano Spalletti, making himself available and getting to work in his headquarters.
THE FANTASTIC 5. ‘Called up’ last 30 April by coach Luciano Spalletti, after having received an invitation from the FIGC in recent days, the ‘Fantastic 5’ number 10 (Antognoni, Baggio, Del Piero, Rivera and Totti) will spend a day in Coverciano today with the Blues. The ‘Fantastic 5’ will have lunch with the team and staff, then in the afternoon they will wear special shirts and will be on the pitch with the group during the training session.
