JAKARTA - The coach of the Italian national team, Luciano Spalletti, was forced to change the line-up when the team appeared in the two follow-up matches of Group C Qualification Euro 2024. This policy must be taken following a number of injuries suffered by players.

Ivan Provedel and Mattia Zaccagni are the two names dropped from the Gli Azzurri squad. Lazio's two employees are known to have suffered different injuries.

Provedel, who is a goalkeeper, is reported to have suffered a hip injury. Meanwhile, Zaccagni, who is often trusted to go down as a winger, is reported to have suffered a left ankle injury.

The two players are known to have suffered an injury while delivering Lazio to silence Atalanta 3-2 last weekend. With that situation, Spalletti didn't want to waste time looking for a substitute, especially for Zaccagni.

Spalletti immediately reportedly appointed Ricardo Orsolini as Zaccagni's replacement. He called the Bologna attacking midfielder as the latest change in the Gli Azzurri squad.

"Spalletti has actually compiled the Gli Azzurri squad, but was forced to change it due to the latest developments. Orsolini has been added to the Gli Azzurri squad. Orsolini has the ability to be placed on both sides of the attack and the midfielder remains in a pattern of three attackers, "wrote the Italian Football report quoted on Monday, October 9.

Spalletti carried out the reshuffle of the Italian national team squad because in the second edition of the international break this season, his team will play two follow-up matches for the 2024 European Cup Qualification Group C.

The first agenda was passed by hosting Malta at the San Nicola Stadium, Bari on October 15 in the morning WIB. After that, the 2020 European Cup champion will fly to Wembley Stadium and face the host, England on Wednesday, October 18 in the morning WIB.
