OFFICIAL: Atalanta defender Scalvini withdraws from Italy squad due to injury

The Atalanta defender suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Along with Scamacca, the Juventus defender will join the group, pre-alerted in recent days by Spalletti.

Fourth day of training in Coverciano for the national team, which continues its preparations for UEFA EURO 2024. Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini were supposed to join the group today, but only the Atalanta striker will join his teammates at the Federal Technical Centre. The Nerazzurri defender will have to miss the European Championship after being injured in the final minutes of the league match against Fiorentina: the diagnostic tests he underwent yesterday evening showed that he had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

At lunchtime, together with Scamacca, Federico Gatti will reach Coverciano. Last Friday, after Francesco Acerbi’s forfeit, the Juventus defender had been pre-alerted by coach Luciano Spalletti, making himself available and getting to work in his own headquarters.
