Inter Milan’s central defender Francesco Acerbi will not be available for the Italian national team at Euro 2024.
Acerbi is set to undergo surgery for a groin injury, ruling him out of the upcoming tournament.
Replacement Named
In response to Acerbi’s absence, Italy’s head coach has called up Federico Gatti from Juventus to join the extended squad. Gatti, known for his strong defensive skills, will be stepping into a crucial role as the team prepares for the competition.
Acerbi’s Contributions
Acerbi was an integral part of the Italian squad that won the Euro 2020 championship. Throughout his international career, he has earned 34 caps and scored one goal for the “Squadra Azzurra.” His experience and leadership on the field will be missed as Italy aims to defend their title in Germany.
