Inter defender Danilo D’Ambrosio will not join the Italian national team in their trip to Liechtenstein tomorrow due to his minor foot injury, according to Italian news outlet ANSA.
The 31-year-old Nerazzurri defender played the full 90 minutes in the Azzurri’s 2-0 victory over Greece last night in their seventh qualifying match for next summer’s European Championships but left the pitch after the final whistle with a minor foot injury.
The report details how Italy coach Roberto Mancini has decided not to bring D’Ambrosio as he doesn’t want to risk further injury to the defender and Italy’s victory over Greece last night has already confirmed their place in next summer’s tournament.
D’Ambrosio is a key player for Inter coach Antonio Conte, having appeared in all but one of the Nerazzurri’s games so far this season as both a centre back and a right midfielder. He scored the only goal in Inter’s 1-0 victory over Lazio last month, gifting a vital three points to the Nerazzurri.
