Federico Chiesa, blue is moving away

Head coach Roberto Mancini is not optimistic about Federico Chiesa

Coming off badly from the match between his Juventus and Inter Milan, Federico Chiesa could miss the national team’s first two matches in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. This was confirmed by Roberto Mancini during a press conference at Coverciano on Monday.

“Chiesa was in Turin getting an exam today but I don’t think he will be there,” said Mancini, who did not specify, however, whether he will call a replacement or stay with the strikers already called up, namely Berardi, Gnonto, Grifo, Pafundi, Retegui and Scamacca.

Besides Chiesa, there are also doubts about the condition of Dimarco, who was also injured during Inter-Juventus. On the other hand, the unavailability of reserve goalkeeper Provedel is certain, whose place among the summoned will be taken by Under-21 Carnesecchi.
