Sampdoria forward Lorenzo Mezzotero is making progress in his recovery from injury. The 18-year-old, who will miss Azerbaijan’s UEFA Nations League match against Liechtenstein, has a hematoma on the top of his foot caused by a blow, and it is gradually clearing.
Mezzotero underwent treatment on Wednesday morning and joined one of the groups doing strength training in the gym in the afternoon.
The forward, who plays in Italy’s Serie B, was injured in a league match against Carrarese. As a result, his Azerbaijan debut has been delayed.
Mezzotero, who was called up to the senior national team for the first time by Ayxan Abbasov, has been replaced by Araz-Nakhchivan forward Agadadash Salyanski.
Context
On November 9, Mezzotero was withdrawn from Azerbaijan’s squad because of injury, and Agadadash Salyanski was called up in his place. Azerbaijan will face Liechtenstein away on November 13 in the UEFA Nations League.
