Allenatore Italia, Roberto Mancini announced the names he called to undergo two EURO 2020 qualifying matches next week.
In this squad, Mancini still includes winger Stephan El Shaarawy even though he no longer plays in Europe after moving to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

Interestingly, Mancini also called left-back Luca Pellegrini who immediately loaned Juventus to Cagliari despite being recruited from AS Roma.

Acerbi Replace Chiellini

In fact, Mancini called on veteran defender and captain Giorgio Chiellini. But the Juventus doorstop must be removed after suffering a ligament injury in a training session.

As a substitute, Mancini decided to call on Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi. He will be a coating for Leonardo Bonucci and Alessio Romagnoli who are likely to be the main choice.
