Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon confirms he won’t be eligible to play in the Europa League Final against Bayer Leverkusen: ‘The biggest nightmare.’
The Dutch midfielder was subbed off in tears during Wednesday’s Coppa Italia Final against Juventus with a suspected knee injury.
Gian Piero Gasperini had already confirmed that the 33-year-old would not be eligible for next week’s Europa League Final, but De Roon has now confirmed it with a heartbreaking social media post.
“A few days ago I never thought I’d write these words,” said De Roon.
“I can’t play the Europa League final. What should’ve been the most important week of my career, became the biggest nightmare.”
