9:53 am: The uncool news of the morning
We start with the small infirmary point which has spoiled the Italian party a little since last night. Leonardo Spinazzola, so good so far in this Euro, did not miss out against Belgium. Big injury to the left Achilles tendon, we have not yet fully confirmed but there is little doubt, it would be a total rupture.
The Italian staff has for the moment evoked “clinical signs of injury to the left Achilles tendon” for the left side, which will be whatever happens away from the field for many months.
Roberto Mancini began his press conference with a tribute to his player, who came out in tears: “The first important thing is that we are sorry for Spina. He did not deserve this injury, he was playing really extraordinarily well, he was even one of the best in the Euro, ”said the coach.
At his side, Laurenzo Insigne stressed that it was “a big loss” for the Nazionale. “We will try to do everything we can and make it to the final for him,” added the player who was named best player of the game. “He made a big Euro, it will be a great loss”, also confided Marco Verratti at the microphone of Sky Sport.
