New Ricci injury worry for Torino and Italy | OneFootball

Samuele Ricci is in doubt for the Nations League games that Italy will play against Belgium and France after both he and Ivan Ilic limped off for Torino this evening.

The Granata were playing at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin for the Derby della Mole against their arch rivals Juve.

Ilic went off during the half-time break and Sky Sport Italia report this was due to an adductor issue that the midfielder felt in his thigh.

The situation got even worse when Ricci went down in a coming together with Federico Gatti and had to leave the field with what appeared to be an ankle problem.

It remains to be seen how bad the damage is, but Ricci has to be a doubt now for the Italy games against Belgium and France next week.

Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri are in Brussels on November 14 to play Belgium, then host France at San Siro on Sunday November 17.

They need only one point to be sure of a place in the Nations League quarter-finals.

Torino really are in the midst of an injury crisis at the moment, as they went into the Juventus clash without Duvan Zapata, Che Adams, Zanos Savva, Perr Schuurs and Emirhan Ilkhan.
