The problems in Italy's defense have not stopped. After Acerbi left the team due to injury, another negative signal for coach Luciano Spalletti arrived from Bergamo.
Giorgio Scalvini has suffered a serious injury in the match between Atalanta and Fiorentina, to interrupt the trip to Germany.
The defender will have to miss the European Championship after being injured in the last minutes of the season. Medical tests revealed a ruptured cruciate ligament in the left knee.
An injury that ends the season not in the right way for the defender of Atalanta, while good news for the rivals of Euro2024.
For the 20-year-old, there will be no replacement one-on-one, as Spalletti has identified Gatti as the chosen one to cover the spaces in his defense and that of Acerbi.
The Juventus defender has been called up by Spalletti to join the Axurri squad in Coverciano, adding to the options at the back. He will join his teammates to start preparations for the European Championship. The Whites' 25-year-old centre-back has made just three appearances for the national team in the past, with his most recent appearing in the 5-2 win over North Macedonia in November.
Scalvini's injury causes Italy to lose quality at the back, something that many rivals like, including Albania. The Reds are the first opponents of the European champions in Euro2024, against whom they want to get the most.
