The moment of truth is approaching Spalletti. Tomorrow the coach will announce the definitive list of the 26 blues who will fly to Germany to face the European Championship. Therefore, three cuts are planned: here are those who risk going home one step away from the event.
Italy, tomorrow the list of 26 players called up for Euro 2024
At the end of the disappointing goalless draw against the Türkiye, Luciano Spalletti he preferred not to say too much about possible cuts. “There is still tomorrow (today, ed.) to make choices: we’ll take all the time we can” commented the coach to Rai. After i lump sum of Acerbi and Scalvini and the convocation of Cats who joined his teammates in Coverciano, there seems to be little doubt about the roles destined to lose a player: one of the four goalkeepers, a midfielder and a winger will be excluded.
Spalletti, the player in the squad: here’s who’s at risk between the posts
Some of the places at the European Championships are Donnarummastarting goalkeeper and captain of the national team, e Vicar, Gigio’s second yesterday fielded from the first minute against Turkey. Everything suggests that he will have to return home Provedelbut – at the moment – he still has hopes of playing it with Meret. Spalletti knows Napoli’s number one well having coached him in his splendid two-year period on the slopes of Vesuvius, but it is also true that Alex is coming off a year with more downs than ups.
Which are the other two players of movements at risk of being cut
The squad of 29 will have to be reduced to 26: with the defense already having one element less, there will be other areas of the pitch in which the coach will have his hand. Let’s start with the midfielder: Beansfor which Spalletti wasted no time in throwing him into the fray against Turkey too, is the element of quality to be alternate with Jorginho and therefore the doors of the European Championship should open wide for him. We are moving towards a head to head between Folorunsho and Ricci, with the player owned by Napoli having a better chance of going to Germany. So, an external: El Shaarawy and Bellanova they didn’t play yesterday, while Orsolini before and Zaccagni then they wasted the opportunity to shine at the Dall’Ara. The exclusion will also depend on the game system that Spalletti wants to adopt, but the feeling is that one of Orsolini or Zaccagni will have to give up Euro 2024.
