Atalanta's Scamacca injures knee 10 days before Madrid Super Cup clash

Atalanta are still struggling to find their way to victory in pre-season. The 'Dea', who were held to a 2-2 draw by AZ Alkmaar a few days ago, lost Sunday's friendly against a Parma side who thrashed them 4-1. Despite the win, Gasperini's side suffered a heavy blow.

Gianluca Scamacca, one of the team's leading scorers, suffered an unfortunate injury shortly into the second half. In the 49th minute, the striker tried to control a ball from Matteo Ruggeri and landed on his left knee.

The Italian fell to the ground and his team-mates alerted the medical services that it looked bad. The player left the pitch without support and was accompanied by doctors. It was a tough setback for the Italians.

It should not be forgotten that the 'Dea' will face Madrid in the European Super Cup. The Bergamo club will carry out the relevant medical tests to see the exact extent of an injury that is likely to keep him out of the final of the tournament.
