Italy add Bellanova to squad for Germany quarter-final | OneFootball

Italy coach Luciano Spalletti has called up Atalanta winger Raoul Bellanova for the Nations League quarter-final against Germany, as Mattia Zaccagni and Andrea Cambiaso are carrying injuries.

The first leg kicks off at San Siro on Thursday at 19.45 GMT, with the decider in Dortmund on Sunday evening.

They are already forced to do without Inter star Federico Dimarco, but the problems continue for Spalletti, as today both Lazio wide man Zaccagni and Juventus player Cambiaso did not participate in the training session.

With this in mind, Spalletti has expanded his squad to 26 players by calling in Bellanova from Atalanta as a late addition.

Zaccagni and Cambiaso will remain with the Azzurri camp for the time being, but can be sent home early if it becomes evident they cannot feature in either of the two matches.

Bellanova is 24 years old and has four senior caps for Italy.

He made 36 competitive appearances so far this season for Atalanta, contributing one goal and eight assists.
