Italy doctor hits back at Fabregas’ Kean comments: ‘We constantly keep clubs updated’

Italy’s team doctor, Angelo De Carli, has defended the national football team’s communication with club doctors regarding injured players, in response to Cesc Fabregas’ comments about Moise Kean. De Carli stated that the medical staff constantly keep clubs updated on player conditions before, during, and after training camps. This clarification comes after the Como coach accused Kean of playing 90 minutes while injured following a knock against Belgium in the opening game of the window, and called for improved communication between the federation and clubs.

It was reported earlier that an MRI scan revealed Kean had been carrying the injury since the Belgium match, yet he still played the full match against France in Paris. De Carli did not elaborate on the specifics of Kean’s injury or the timing of the scan. Kean has since left the national team and is expected to be sidelined for a week to 10 days, missing Como’s upcoming match against Roma.
