Francesco Camarda - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Subs in late against Verona Camarda (shoulder) had one shot (zero on target) and no other stats in a short cameo in Satuyrday's 0-0 draw with Verona.

Impact Camarda only saw some action in the stoppage time after a multi-month absence caused by a shoulder injury. He'll work on his conditioning and try to challenge Nikola Stulic and Walid Cheddira, who have both been underwhelming, the rest of the way. He hadn't been much better, scoring once in 18 appearances (seven starts) before going down.

Finds bench role Camarda (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Verona.

Impact Camarda has been included in the squad after being absent since early January following the serious shoulder sprain that had required surgery, with the coaching staff easing him back via the bench as he rejoins the competition for the central attacking role. The young forward steps back into a three-man battle alongside Walid Cheddira, who had been acquired in January to fill the void, and Nikola Stulic, with an immediate return to the starting lineup representing too big a step given the length of his absence. His return to the first eleven is expected to follow in the coming fixtures as he builds back his match sharpness and works his way back into contention.

Completes rehab from serious injury Camarda (shoulder) has been cleared to return, has been called up for a pre-game retreat ahead of Saturday's away game against Verona and has been training regularly in recent days...

Impact Camarda has been absent since early January because of a serious shoulder sprain that required surgery. The team acquired Walid Cheddira in January to fill the void and compete with Nikola Stulic, so he'll join a three-man competition for one spot in the middle of the attack. He has scored once in 17 appearances (seven starts). He has posted five shots (zero on target), three chances created and two clearances in his last five outings.

Will undergo surgery Camarda will go under the knife to address his right shoulder injury, Lecce announced.

Impact Camarda tried with a conservatice theraphy but wasn't improving as hoped, so Lecce and his parent club Milan elected for the operation, which will sideline for at least two months. He could be back for the final stretch of the season. Walid Cheddira will replace him as Nikola Stulic's deputy and competitor.

Will skip more matches Camarda (shoulder) has been prescribed to rest for two weeks, Lecce announced.

Impact Camarda has been advised to avoid contact for a fortnight to avoid aggravating his injury, which will cost him at least the next three matches, then he might need some ramp-up time afterward. If Lecce don't sign another striker, Santiago Pierotti and Tete Morente will also back up Nikola Stulic and potentially play as false-nines, in addition to manning the wings.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Absent versus Inter Camarda (shoulder) "will be out midweek," coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed, after being diagnosed with a contusion.

Impact Camarda will skip his second game in a row, but the initial diagnosis excludes a significant problem, although he's still getting checked out to make sure he has avoided structural damage. Nikola Stulic will lead the front line on his own in relief.

Suffers shoulder injury Camarda is a late scratch for Sunday's game versus Parma "because he hurt his shoulder and was in considerable discomfort," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Camarda got dinged up in training and is set for tests to ascertain the severity of the issue and the potential timetable for his return. Lecce will have two short turnarounds in a row. The gaffer would have to adapt a player to the position if something happened to Nikola Stulic.

Takes three shots in win Camarda had three off-target shots and created two chances during Friday's 1-0 win over Pisa.

Impact Camarda had just his fifth start of the year and, despite not being that accurate in front of the net, the wonderkid showed how dangerous he can be if given more run. Nikola Stulic, who came off the bench this time, finally scored for the first time in a Lecce uniform, but Camarda just needs to keep playing like this to start getting more consistent playing time.

Misses PK against Napoli Camarda had one shot (one on goal), one tackle (zero won) and one cross (zero accurate) and had a penalty kick denied in Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Napoli.

Impact Camarda drew his third start of the season over Nikola Stulic, but he didn't have many attempts, and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic turned him away from the spot when the result was nil-nil. He'll likely continue to be the second banana up front. He has scored once and posted three shots (two on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle (zero won) in the last five games.

Takes two shots versus Atalanta Camarda (head) drew two fouls and registered two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against Atalanta.

Impact Camarda didn't miss time thanks to the break and had a couple of attempts in garbage time. Nikola Stulic had a fine display in this one despite the result, so he might relinquish the starting job after getting the nod in the first two tilts. He has tallied three off-target shots so far.
