Darmian injury scare for Euro 2016

By Football Italia staff

Matteo Darmian was stretchered off for Manchester United today, so it remains to be seen if he too will miss Euro 2016.

Antonio Conte has had a disastrous build-up to the tournament with news that Marco Verratti and Claudio Marchisio will be out following surgery.

Verratti has to go under the knife to resolve a sports hernia problem on May 16, while Juventus midfielder Marchisio tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

This afternoon Darmian was stretchered off during Manchester United’s Premier League trip to Norwich.

It was a strange injury, as Pinto appeared to accidentally tread on his Achilles tendon.

The former Torino right-back was in visible pain and eventually stretchered off after several minutes of treatment.

Now Italy and Manchester United are anxiously awaiting news from the medical staff to see if there is any serious damage.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Darmian called his family to reassure them the injury was not serious.
