Atalanta’s friendly match against Parma at the Tardini stadium took an unexpected turn when striker Gianluca Scamacca suffered a potentially serious knee injury. The incident occurred in the 50th minute of the game, with Parma leading 2-1.
During an offensive play, Scamacca’s left knee suddenly gave way as he attempted to control the ball in the penalty area. The striker immediately collapsed to the ground, signaling for medical assistance.
Within minutes, Scamacca was forced to leave the field, unable to put any weight on his left knee. He was visibly in pain as he was assisted off the pitch by medical staff, causing significant concern for manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
This injury comes as a major blow to Atalanta, reminiscent of the Scalvini incident just 63 days ago. The team, clearly shaken by the event, conceded a third goal to Parma shortly after Scamacca’s departure.
There are fears that Scamacca may have sustained a severe knee injury, which could potentially impact Atalanta’s transfer market strategy, including decisions regarding player Teun Koopmeiners.
Initial diagnosis suggests a knee sprain, but further medical examinations are required to determine the full extent of the injury. The club and fans alike anxiously await the results of these tests, hoping for a positive outcome for their new signing.
