Watch: Tonali stretchered off during Italy’s friendly against Albania – the latest

There was a worrying sight for AC Milan fans tonight as Sandro Tonali was stretchered off in the first half of Italy’s friendly against Albania.

Tonali was jumping for an aerial ball and seemed to roll around the back of his opponent before landing awkwardly on his shoulder. He was clearly in a great deal of pain, but the obvious relief is that it isn’t an injury related to his legs or lower body which would of course create lots of complications.

According to TMW, there is reassuring news on the Sandro Tonali front as he hit his head on the ground but he is conscious. Further checks will be carried out in the next few hours.
