Scalvini, shoulder dislocation: risk of surgery. Atalanta trembles

Bergamo, 30 January 2025 - It will take a few days to understand the extent of theleft shoulder injury immediately from George Scalvini Wednesday evening in the Barcelona challenge.

The 21-year-old defender of theAtalanta reported one dislocation falling after an aerial challenge, at the end of the match at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium. The dislocation is one of the most classic injuries in contact sports: it literally shoulder out, then manually rearranged and put back in by doctors and physiotherapists as happens in these cases, which are quite frequent in football matches. However, the possible injury must be evaluated once the trauma has been reabsorbed.

The investigations

Tomorrow, the Nerazzurri player will probably undergo a Tac to have more answers about the extent of the injury and only after this further diagnostic assessment will it be possible to draw up a precise diagnosis, also on recovery times, and exclude thesurgery, hypothesis currently possible.

The previous

Seven weeks ago, on December 9, Scalvini had a similar injury in training, always in the left shoulder, and had been forced to stay out until the end of the year.

"The boy has suffered yet another injury, I'm worried because he hurt his shoulder. We hoped he wouldn't have a relapse, I don't know if he'll have to undergo surgery but we're really sorry," explained coach Gian Piero Gasperini yesterday evening in a hot press conference, who at the moment in defense, without Scalvini, without Kossounou out until May, with the Bosnian Kolasinac also sidelined by muscular problems, he has only three defenders for as many places, namely Hien e Djimsiti and the captain Raphael Toloi, found in this month of January after having almost skipped 2024 due to continuous muscular problems. Very short blanket behind and in fact the Nerazzurri management is sounding out the market in search of a defender ready to insert.
