Young AC Milan striker Francesco Camarda has been forced to withdraw from the Italian Under-19 national team due to a minor muscle problem. The talented 16-year-old was initially selected as part of a 22-player squad for an international friendly tournament in Croatia, where Italy was set to face England, Germany, and the host nation.
Calciomercato report how Camarda was one of the youngest players called up to the U19 squad, which primarily consists of players born in 2006. However, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially announced his exclusion from the team. Roma defender Filippo Reale has been called up as his replacement.
The injury occurred during Milan Futuro’s recent match against Carpi. After scoring his first goal of the season from the penalty spot, Camarda experienced discomfort and had to be substituted. As a precautionary measure, it was decided that he should skip this round of international fixtures.
In the coming days, Milan’s medical staff will closely monitor Camarda’s condition to assess the extent of the muscle issue. The club will be hoping for a swift recovery, as the young striker has already shown immense promise and is considered one of the brightest talents in Italian football.
