VERONA, Italy — Key Italy forward Domenico Berardi exited Sassuolo's match at Hellas Verona in tears with a suspected torn Achilles tendon and now might miss the European Championship. Berardi went down in the 58th minute after controlling an errant kick from Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo and immediately grasped his right ankle. He was eventually helped off the pitch by teammates. Berardi provided two assists during Italy's run to the European Championship three years ago and was expected to be on the team at this year's tournament in Germany.
