Rome (Italy): Lorenzo Pellegrini on Thursday joined Italy’s injury list on the eve of their Euro 2020 opener against Turkey, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed.
Italy have submitted a request to UEFA to bring in Fiorentina’s Gaetano Castrovilli in their 26-man squad after Roma midfielder Pellegrini pulled up with a muscular problem in training midweek.
“Subject to diagnostic tests this morning, (Pellegrini) will still remain in the national team that will move to Rome this morning,” the FIGC said.
“As a precaution and awaiting feedback from UEFA, midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli will join the group in Rome.”
Roberto Mancini’s side kick-off the Euro with a Group A match against Turkey at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday.
