The countdown continues towards Italy-Macedonia and Ukraine-Italy, the two matches that will decide the fate of the Azzurri in the qualifying group for the next European men’s football championships, scheduled for June 14 to July 14, 2024 in Germany. However, the reigning European Champions’ approach to these matches is not proving to be idyllic, in fact in the last few days there has been a succession of forfeits.
Alex Meret, Davide Calabria, Rafael Toloi and Manuel Locatelli they had to renounce the call of the Technical Commissioner Luciano Spalletti for physical problems. The national coach was consequently forced to take action, calling two new players today at the blue rally in Coverciano.
The former Napoli coach has selected two lateral defenders: Manuel Lazzari of Lazio on the right flank e Cristiano Biraghi of Fiorentina on the left. Considering the various absences and ailments of Jorginho, Andrea Cambiaso and Bryan Cristante, the call-up of further players in the next few hours or days in view of the home match against Macedonia at the Olympic stadium in Rome on 17 November cannot be ruled out.
Luciano Spalletti: “Building and pressure are fundamental, I will make other calls.” And about Totti…
