Coach Luciano Spalletti, however, must already deal with a problem in attack. Moise Kean, in fact, suffered a lower back injury in the match against AC Milan and his condition will be carefully evaluated by Italy&#39s medical staff later this morning.

Soì, the coach of the Azzurri has decided to convene also Lorenzo Lucca, who will join the group in the coming hours thus returning to wear the Azzurri jersey seven months after the first call-up on the occasion of the friendlies in the States with Venezuela and Ecuador.
