Diary
Saturday, 17 March 2018 -
Luigi Di Biagio has called
up 26 Azzurri players for the friendlies against Argentina and England at the
Etihad Stadium in Manchester and at Wembley Stadium. Patrick Cutrone and
Federico Chiesa have received their first call-ups for the senior team with the
latter selected by both Ventura and Di Biagio for the training camps dedicated
to emerging young players. The focus on youth is also clear with nine of the
thirteen players who made their debuts in the past two years included. They are:
Donnarumma, Rugani, Spinazzola, Zappacosta, Cristante, Gagliardini, Pellegrini,
Verdi and Belotti. Giacomo Bonaventura is back for the first time since the
games in November 2016 against Liechtenstein and Germany. The Azzurri will
arrive tomorrow evening at Coverciano and train there from Monday to Thursday
when they'll depart for Manchester in the afternoon for the Argentina match.
After that, the Italy National Team will stay there to train at Manchester
City's training ground over the weekend before heading to London on 26th for the
match against the home side.
Sunday, 18 March
2018 - While awaiting medical test results on Giorgio Chiellini, Luigi Di
Biagio has called up West Ham United's Angelo Ogbonna.
Tuesday, 20 March 2018 - The 26 players that
make up the Italian squad are at Coverciano for their first day's training
session. However Giorgio Chiellini was sent back to Turin for tests. He

flexor muscles in his right thigh. The tests revealed that Chiellini's injury,
while not serious, will require daily monitoring. The defender has started
undergoing physiotherapy and his condition will be re-evaluated next week.

Azzurri friendlies.
