This is the account of how Domenico Berardi, the star player for both Italy and Sassuolo, sustained a season-ending injury during a 1-0 defeat against Hellas Verona on Sunday.
At the Stadio Bentegodi yesterday, the 29-year-old was compelled to leave the field in the 60th minute.
As he prepared to take a long-range shot, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Sassuolo confirmed on Monday afternoon that Berardi, the Italian international, had suffered a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon and would undergo surgery on Tuesday morning.
Consequently, Berardi will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, including Italy’s participation in Euro 2024.
