Italy: Scamacca back with the squad – training session watched by Gravina and Buffon

Italy, led by manager Gennaro Gattuso, is preparing for what is arguably – if not the – most important match in the Azzurri’s recent history: the play-off final against Bosnia and Herzegovina to secure a place and qualify (twelve years on from the last time) for the upcoming World Cup, which will be held this summer in Canada, the United States and Mexico.

The entire Italian squad is training at Coverciano, and some good news has just arrived ahead of the decisive match against the Bosnian side.

  • GROUP SCAM

    In fact, all the Azzurri are training regularly with the squad, including Atalanta’s Gianluca Scamacca, who was keen to be part of this training camp and make himself available for these two matches, following the injury he sustained in recent days.

    It is worth recalling that Scamacca had suffered a muscle-fascial injury to his right adductor, which appeared to rule him out of Gattuso’s plans, but the latest signs have been positive and the Atalanta striker is now aiming to play a key role in the play-off final.

  • IN THE EYES OF GRAVINA

    Watching the national team’s training session, led by manager Gattuso, on the pitches at Coverciano, were, on the sidelines, both a teammate such as Guglielmo Vicario (the Tottenham goalkeeper has remained at the training camp, although he was not called up due to recent physical problems following hernia surgery, and will travel with the team to Zenica), the national team’s head of delegation, Gianluigi Buffon, and the president of the Italian Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina.
