Alberto Brignoli’s career at AEK didn’t start well.
The Italian goalkeeper was injured before even playing his first official match for Union and will be “out of action” for the next 2.5 months.
The unfortunate incident took place in yesterday’s friendly match against Inter d’Escaldes, in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
Brignoli felt severe pain in his left forearm and the tests he underwent showed a fracture of the scaphoid of the left fibula.
In practice, this means that Matias Almeida is now left with two goalkeepers available, Strakosa and Theoharis.
