Setback Delays Recovery Timeline
Atalanta centre-back Giorgio Scalvini has encountered yet another obstacle in his mission to return to full fitness, with a fresh muscle injury further hindering his progress. After a series of physical setbacks over recent years, the Italian’s career development has suffered significant interruption.
Injury Challenges Since Summer 2024
Scalvini’s difficulties began in June 2024, when he sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee just prior to EURO 2024. Since that time, the 21-year-old has seen minimal game action, aggravated by two shoulder dislocations and an array of muscle problems.
Unfortunately Atalanta have confirmed Giorgio Scalvini has suffered a muscle strain in his right abductor. His condition will be monitored daily.
Hope to see him back on the pitch asap. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/XtkD5Sj7d7

Latest Fitness Issue and Its Impact
Scalvini’s newest injury was identified after a training session and concerns the adductor muscle in his right leg. This development will rule him out of the upcoming Serie A tie with Napoli and casts significant doubt on his participation against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
His recent injury woes have affected both legs. On September 17, he sustained a lesion to the long adductor muscle in his right leg, and on October 19, he injured the femoral bicep in his left leg. The variety and recurrence of these issues have raised concern regarding his fitness trajectory.
Season Statistics
Despite all his struggles, Scalvini has made five outings for Atalanta this campaign in both Serie A and Champions League fixtures, finding the net once during this period.
