Fiorentina suffered a heavy blow in the crucial period of full-strength for six: in the 1-0 home league win over Venice, Castrovelli retired from injury, was diagnosed with multiple serious injuries to his left knee after the game, and has now undergone surgery and is expected to take 8-10 months to recover.
Castrovelli debuted in Bari's academy and joined Fiorentina in 2017, emerging on loan to Serie B side Cremonese and returning to the Purple Lily in the summer of 2019. In the past three seasons, Castrovelli has steadily improved, and so far this season, he has made 27 appearances for Fiorentina in all competitions to contribute 1 goal and 1 assist, after a scandal with Inter. As a young player who started from the grassroots, Castrovelli's fate is really sad, and he has been seriously injured and suspended for a long time. 25 years old, saying that old is not old, saying that young is not young. Although Castrovelli is optimistic and eager to return to the field as soon as possible, it has to be said that his future is uncertain.
In recent years, Fiorentina has exported a lot of malleable talents to Italian football, such as Bernardeschi and Little Chiesa produced by their own youth. Bay driver transferred to Juve for 5 seasons and has gradually disappeared into the crowd, and now the 28-year-old is likely to be purged this summer. Chiesa Jr.'s growth in the Bianconeri is obvious to all, especially last year's European Championship, which played well and became an important contributor to Italy's victory. However, in January this year, Chiesa Jr. retired from an injury in Juve's match against Roma, confirming that the season was reimbursed early. As a result, he missed Italy's World Cup play-off against North Macedonia and thus missed this year's World Cup in Qatar. The re-emergence of the Blues is like a thunderbolt for young players like Chieza Jr., who are not soft-footed or even have the style of a god of war. In October 2020, The Younger Wasa was loaned to Juve by Fiorentina, and he conquered the old woman with his performance, which was originally a foregone conclusion, but unfortunately a sudden major injury made it difficult to activate the mandatory buyout clause.
It is unclear how much the serious injuries of Chiesa Jr. and Castrovelli will affect his later career, after all, Zaniolo, who is also a flounder for the Fiorentina academy, has already been injured. Despite his young age, Zaniolo has an unusually rich experience with injuries. Zaniolo did not play for the Fiorentina first team and naturally could not escape the training trip arranged by the purple lily. Joining Roma in the summer of 2018, Zaniolo officially started his Serie A journey. When he first landed at The Olimpico in Rome, Zaniolo was highly anticipated as the "new Totti", but it turned out that he may not have been the king of wolves. In 2020, Zaniolo suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligament in his right knee and a torn ligament in his left knee within a year. At only 22 years old, both knees have been overhauled, and although there has been significant progress under Mourinho this season, the hidden dangers of glass attributes are enough to dissuade some interested giants.
Needless to say, there is something to the Fiorentina youth academy, and This is something that Juve knows as the biggest beneficiary. From Baggio to Vlahović, the Bianconeri's poaching of the Purple Lily has long since become an inertial operation. Unfortunately, in recent years, they have gradually developed from "Florentine production must be fine" to "Florence production is mostly fragile". This season, Vlahović has become the new force in Serie A, and hopefully the Serbian will be able to get rid of the injury and successfully cash in on his talent.
