Injury Scare For Italy – Inter Milan Midfielder Pulls Out Of Training Match Ahead Of EURO 2024
The Italy national team camp is on edge as Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has withdrawn from today’s training match, as reported by Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it. The 24-year-old’s fitness concerns join those of national teammates Nicolo Barella and Nicolo Fagioli.
With the Euros just around the corner, starting this Friday, the Italian national team is preparing to kick off their group stage on Saturday evening against Albania. However, the team may be facing an injury crisis at a crucial time.
Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella is still not fully training with the rest of the Italy squad due to muscular fatigue in his right thigh, causing him to miss both pre-EURO 2024 warmup friendlies. Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli is also struggling with a muscle issue and was unable to train on the pitch today as he recovers.
Adding to the worry, Frattesi, Barella’s teammate at Inter, encountered a potential problem during today’s training session. Despite starting the session normally and participating in high-intensity sprints with the squad, Frattesi approached Italy coach Spalletti before the training match began, expressing discomfort and subsequently returning to the dressing room.
As the Euros approach, the condition of Frattesi is a concern for Italy, especially with the tournament so close. Coach Luciano Spalletti will be hoping for a swift recovery for the midfielder to avoid further setbacks in their campaign.
