Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi will start for Italy in tomorrow evening’s EURO 2024 qualifying match against England.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. The newspaper also report that Nerazzurri defender Francesco Acerbi will start the match.
Italy face a massively important match in their hopes of qualifying for the upcoming Euros tomorrow.
The Azzurri face off against England at Wembley.
At the moment, Italy are level on points with Ukraine in the table for their group. The latter’s victory over North Macedonia during the international break has definitely put the pressure on the Azzurri.
Italy have their game in hand against Ukraine, but it is against group leaders England.
The Three Lions are currently five points ahead of Italy in the group table.
Therefore, a failure to get a result this evening would leave the Azzurri’s qualification for EURO 2024 in a lot of doubt. They could miss out on the tournament despite having won the last edition.
Inter Midfielder Davide Frattesi To Start For Italy Vs England
Italy coach Luciano Spalletti will certainly have to get his selection decisions right.
And according to the Corriere, the former Inter, Roma, and Napoli boss will turn to Nerazzurri midfielder Frattesi.
The 24-year-old has made eight appearances for the national team so far.
And Frattesi has proven to be a player who can make the decisive impact for Italy so far. He has scored four goals in a national team shirt so far.
The Corriere anticipate that Frattesi will start.
And in defender, the newspaper report that Nerazzurri defender Acerbi will be in the starting eleven.
He will take the place of Roma’s Gianluca Mancini.
And it could be Acerbi’s club teammate Alessandro Bastoni who pairs the 35-year-old, as it will be a left-footed centre-back.
