The Italy Under-21 team, along with Roma and Empoli, received disappointing news as both Jacopo Fazzini and Tommaso Baldanzi were forced to leave the field due to injuries during the match against San Marino’s youth team.
Calciomercato report that Fazzini was the first to exit, leaving the game around the 12-minute mark. He was replaced by Ndour. Baldanzi followed suit, making way for Raimondo at the 25-minute mark.
For Fazzini, the Empoli midfielder, it appears to be a muscular issue. The number 10 attempted to continue playing, but discomfort prevented him from doing so. He left the field under his own power after receiving attention from the medical staff. In the coming hours, tests will be conducted to determine the extent of the problem and potential recovery time. Empoli is scheduled to face Juventus on Saturday afternoon when club football resumes after the international break.
Baldanzi, the Roma player, faced a similar situation. After taking a blow to his back, he spent several minutes on the sideline before ultimately conceding defeat and leaving the game. Roma is set to play away at Genoa upon returning from the break.
