Italy are appealing to Gaetano Castrovilli after Lorenzo Pellegrini’s injury

AS Roma’s 24-year-old central midfielder (17 caps, 2 goals) was injured in training and had to forfeit. “Unfortunately, my thigh problem makes it impossible to participate in the European Championship,” he wrote on Instagram. “The bitterness is great now.”

The Squadra Azzura had, before the announcement of the package, asked UEFA to add Gaetano Castrovilli (Fiorentina) to the team.

Castrovilli, 24 (two caps), is due in Rome on Thursday, where the Azzurri prepare for the tournament’s opener against Turkey on Friday.
