Mancini also loses Immobile: Belotti or Scamacca against Switzerland
Muscle trouble for the attacker, forced to forfeit in the two close matches to qualify for the World Cup
After Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolò Zaniolo, the Azzurri coach Mancini also loses Ciro Immobile, who, like the two Roma players, cannot be involved in Friday's match against Switzerland and not even in the subsequent match against Northern Ireland, valid for qualification for the World Cup in Qatar.
The Lazio striker has in fact left Coverciano due to the exacerbation of the problem in the soleus muscle of the left leg, which had already bothered him in recent days.
Without the top scorer of the championship, Mancini must therefore rethink the attack. The use of Belotti as a center forward is therefore likely. Or the Sassuolo striker Scamacca, called up in the place of Immobile.
Italy needs at least 4 points to finish at the top of Group C and access directly to
Qatar 2022.
