The defender’s condition is not improving, Spalletti is ready to revolutionize the defence. Retegui-Scamacca doubtful in attack
The kick-off of Switzerland-Italya match valid for the round of 16 of Euro 2024is approaching and for Luciano Spalletti it is time to resolve the last doubts of the eve. The most burning situation concerns the conditions of Alexander Bastoniwho has been struggling for a couple of days with a feverish attack that has weakened him. As the hours passed, the optimism of the eve has waned, the situation has not improved and the possibility that he can play alongside Darmian and Mancini Alexander Good morning increases. The other doubt concerns the choice in attack between Scamacca and Retegui, if not both.
Waking up on Saturday morning did not smile on Bastoni who, after two days of feeling unwell, hoped to have resolved his flu problems on the day of the match. The fever, however, has not abandoned him, as has the persistent goal sore, and his presence from the first minute against Switzerland is in serious doubt.

When the temperature rises in the Swiss capital above 30 degrees and the starting whistle will be at the Olympiastadion. Meanwhile, the blue of the splendid day in the German capital contrasts with the red river of Swiss fans who are invading the streets, from the central station, where there is a UEFA Fan Zone, to Alexanderplatz passing through the Brandenburg Gate. Swiss invasion which, amidst chants and typical antics of Red Cross fans, is slowly moving to the stadium where 70,000 spectators are announced, including only 6,000 Italians according to official data. From the point of view of public order there are no problems reported at the moment, not even at the borders there is any news of the passage of potentially dangerous groups of fans. The President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa is also expected in Berlin and this afternoon he will witness the decisive challenge of Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri to stay in the running for Euro 2024.
