Key Italy Forward Domenico Berardi Injured Playing For Sassuolo; Could Miss Euro 2024 – News18

VERONA, Italy: Key Italy ahead Domenico Berardi exited Sassuolo’s match at Hellas Verona in tears on Sunday with a suspected torn Achilles tendon, elevating the prospect that he may miss the European Championship.

Returning from a separate harm in January to his left knee, which required surgical procedure, Berardi went down within the 58th minute after controlling an errant kick from Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo and instantly grasped his proper ankle.

He was ultimately helped off the pitch by teammates.

Sassuolo coach Davide Ballardini stated that Berardi had a suspected torn Achilles.

Berardi supplied two assists throughout Italy’s run to the European Championship three years in the past and was anticipated to be on the staff at this yr’s event in Germany.

Verona received 1-0 to maneuver one spot above the drop zone, whereas Sassuolo dropped to the penultimate place.
