JAKARTA - The Italian national team without Lazio striker Ciro Immobile during two crucial matches in the Euro 2024 qualification. Likewise, Federico Chiesa could not appear when Italy played Malta in the Group C match at the San Nicola Stadium, Sunday, October 15 in the morning WIB. Coach Luciano Spalletti also prepared a new trident.

Spalletti's reshuffle of the starting line up was Spalletti's choice to gain additional points while securing a position in Group C. Repotnya, Spalletti not only lost Immobile who was injured and Chiesa but also Mattia Zaccagni.

Meanwhile, Gianluca Scamacca and Federico Chiesa have not fully recovered. However, both are likely to be played against England at Wembley Stadium, Wednesday, October 18 in the morning WIB.

"For Immobile's condition, we have received information from doctor Lazio if he is injured and feels sick. Doctors cannot confirm when he can play again," Spalletti said.

Losing Immobile et al, Spalletti, who uses the new 4-3-3 scheme, will prepare a new trident with Giacomo Raspadori occupying the position as a center forward. This Napoli striker will be supported by Domenico Berardi and Moise Kean.

In the middle, Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is likely to sit on the bench because Spalletti fielded Davide Frattesi with Manuel Locatelli and Nicolo Barella.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will be fortified by defenders Matteo Darmian, Federico Dimarco, Gianluca Mancini, and Alessandro Bastoni.

Spalletti's squad is likely to change when Gli Azzurri fights England. The reason is, Chiesa is expected to have recovered so that the trident will change.

However, this Juventus forward is still undergoing separate training with the team. If in the end it has not recovered, Spalletti will be forced to cross it out of the squad brought to England.

However, if fit, he would be Spalletti's first choice. Chiesa himself has scored five goals and made seven assists during 42 plays for the Italian national team.
