Italy boss Luciano Spalletti faced the press ahead of the national teamโs upcoming UEFA Euro qualifiers fixtures and explained the reason behind Tottenhamโs Destiny Udogieโs omission from the squad.
Speaking to Sky Italia ahead of Italyโs North Macedonia clash this weekend, Luciano Spalletti was asked the reason why Destiny Udogie wasnโt called up to the squad for the upcoming Euro qualifiers. The former Napoli manager said: โHeโs injuredโ.ย
The 20-year-old was out of action during the last Premier League matchday as Spurs faced Wolves due to a suspension which he racked up against Chelsea. There wasnโt any official news on the part of the North London-based side on the playerโs inuury. However, he passed on a potential injury scare after getting substituted early during Spursโ clash with Crystal Palace last month.ย
Juventusโs Manuel Locatelli is also ruled out of the qualifiers with an injury. Meanwhile, left-back Andrea Cambiaso is called up as he will look to make a positive impression over the international break.
