Injury blow for Frosinone as four-goal Raimondo withdraws from Italy squad

Injury setback for Frosinone as striker Antonio Raimondo withdraws from Italy’s Under-21 squad, leaving the team uncertain for their upcoming Serie A match against Napoli. The FIGC confirmed that Raimondo was assessed as unavailable for the fixtures and will be left behind. Frosinone’s squad trained without the striker, ahead of their departure for Yerevan and the European Championship qualifier against Armenia.

The timing of Raimondo's withdrawal is problematic for the struggling team, especially as he has been one of the league’s top scorers this season, netting four goals for Frosinone. The four-goal Raimondo is on loan from Bologna and has become a crucial attacking option for the team, alongside Giorgi Kvernadze. Despite his current unavailability, there is still more than ten days until the crucial Maradona fixture, giving Raimondo a chance of recovery. However, the FIGC has not disclosed the nature of the injury.
