Leonardo Spinazzola was the unexpected weapon of Mancini's Italy. His performances were outstanding in all the games and having lost him is a very hard blow (His place will be occupied by Emerson Palmieri, who has seen little lately). The way he was injured, that run attempt at the restart against Belgium, demonstrated the level of confidence he had come to after years of ups and downs. The rupture in the Achilles tendon will force you to stay away from the green for several months, but his way back has already begun.
The Italian traveled to Finland, where specialist Lasse Lempainen operated on him to rebuild his tendon. The player himself, showing a photo on his social networks, announced that the operation was a success, thanking the support with a promise: “Start the countdown, see you soon.” Spinazzola, in recent days, received the affection of his companions in private and in public, and Leonardo Bonucci, at a press conference, made it clear that his injury represents another motivation for the team: “We want to win and dedicate the qualification for the final to Leonardo. Losing him was a hard blow, but he gave us a lot of strength this morning. We owe it to him ”.
