Atalanta’s Scalvini Sidelined: Concerns Ahead of Napoli Clash

Atalanta’s preparation for their upcoming match against Napoli has hit a snag. Following the confirmed suspension of Sean Kolasinac due to accumulated yellow cards, the team now faces uncertainty regarding Giorgio Scalvini’s fitness.

The 20-year-old defender, who started in the recent game against Juventus, was forced to leave the pitch at the 80-minute mark due to a physical issue. Manager Gasperini had to quickly substitute Hien in his place.

Initial observations from the field suggest that Scalvini may have experienced discomfort in his knee. Given the player’s history with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury at the end of the previous season, there is understandable concern within the team.

The medical staff is now tasked with conducting thorough examinations to determine the exact nature and severity of Scalvini’s condition. This assessment will be crucial in establishing a timeline for his recovery and potential availability for upcoming matches.

Atalanta is set to host league leaders Napoli at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo this Saturday at 20:45. The team and fans alike are anxiously awaiting updates on Scalvini’s status, hoping for positive news ahead of this important fixture.
