Monza’s preparations for their upcoming Serie A match against Hellas Verona have hit a snag with the news that Daniel Maldini will be unavailable for selection. The young attacking midfielder, who recently made his debut for the Italian national team, has been ruled out due to a shoulder contusion.
Manager Alessandro Nesta announced a 24-man squad for the away fixture at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, scheduled for Monday, October 21st. However, Maldini’s name was notably absent from the list.
The injury comes as a blow to Monza, who have been struggling in the early stages of the Serie A season. Maldini, on loan from AC Milan, has shown flashes of his potential and was expected to play a key role in the team’s efforts to climb out of the relegation zone.
The club has not provided a specific timeline for Maldini’s return, stating that updates on his condition will be forthcoming. Monza’s medical staff will be closely monitoring his recovery to determine when he can rejoin the squad.
