Milan will have the option of fielding Francesco Camarda against Fiorentina if they so desire. The Italian Football Association, FIGC, has given a waiver to use the starlet. SportMediaset reports that it is a crucial step in order to field U-16 players.
Stefano Pioli could use the talent for a chunk of the game against the Viola because most of their strikers are out. Olivier Giroud has been suspended, while Noah Okafor has only a thigh strain. Luka Jovic is the sole survivor. Rafael Leao is also in pain.
If Camarda does participate in the forthcoming Milan match, he will be the youngest player to ever make his Serie A debut. He is 15 years and 259 days old. He’d beat Bologna’s Wisdom Amey by less than a month. Paolo Maldini holds the precocity record as far as the Rossoneri are concerned. He was 16 and 6 months old when he logged his first appearance against Perugia back in 1985.
The prodigy has practiced with the first team for three days in a row, Sky informs. His call-up is very likely. He has filled his boots in any youth category thus far and with the various national teams as well.
Camarda is starring regularly with the Milan Primavera, which is a U-19 squad, this season. He has scored four goals in ten domestic games, adding three more in as many UEFA Youth League matches. He has hit the net four times in six tilts with Italy U-17 in recent months.
