Leonardo Spinacola’s tears were those of someone who was experiencing the best moment of his career and has fallen prey to injuries again. It is added to another at the most wrong moment. The second half of Belgium-Italy, the quarterfinals of “Euro 2020” that Spinacola was playing at excellent levels.
Then a false step in the left arm and pain. That first feelings left no doubt and the Roma player immediately asked for a replacement. Hold for a few moments, then collapsed with a desperate cry, comforted by Kristante, teammate of the yellow and red team.
The tests that will be performed in the coming hours will erase any doubts regarding the entity of the injury. However, from what was understood, especially after numerous injuries, one can hardly be wrong.
And the first news is terrible: damage to the “Achilles tendon”, with the rehabilitation phase that can last from 7 to 9 months. Spinacola has so far been haunted by injuries, often coming in moments of positive form, like the one the former Juventus player was going through in this European with two challenges completed as the “Player of the Match”.
