🇮🇹 Dimarco Leaves Italy Camp
The Italian Football Federation has announced that Federico Dimarco, the Inter Milan player, will miss the current international camp after undergoing medical examinations following an injury.
The federation confirmed that Dimarco had joined the national team camp in Coverciano, but he will now return to Milan after completing the necessary medical checks.
His withdrawal prompted Italy to call up Matteo Ruggeri, the Aston Villa player, as his replacement for the current international window.
⚽ Ruggeri Added to the Squad
Italy’s coaching staff decided to include Ruggeri after Dimarco’s withdrawal, marking the second change made to the national team squad within a short period.
The federation had previously confirmed that Bryan Cristante of Roma would miss the camp because of injury, with Samuel Ricci of Como replacing him.
🔥 Mancini Begins New Italy Spell With Important Camp
