Fresh details have emerged about the condition of Sampdoria forward Lorenzo Mezzotero, who was called up to Azerbaijan’s national team but could not join the camp because of an injury.
Italian media reported that the player took a blow to his ankle during a match against Carrarese. The injury could be more serious than a simple bruise.
A possible ankle sprain is being considered. The medical team’s assessment is awaited to establish a definitive diagnosis. Mezzotero’s condition is expected to be checked today, as the team resumes training.
Sampdoria sent an email to the AFFA saying Mezzotero would be unable to join the national team. However, the results of medical examinations have not been provided to the federation. The severity of the injury and when the player will return to action have yet to be determined.
