This morning, the National Team trained at Coverciano before they leave for Bari this afternoon on the eve of their Euro qualifying match against Malta, which is scheduled for tomorrow at 20:45 CEST at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari.
Stephan El Shaarawy took part in the session after being called up by Luciano Spalletti, who, at 19:15 CEST will hold a press conference at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari alongside captain Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Mattia Zaccagni won't travel to Bari; instead, he'll remain at the Federal Technical Centre and continue to work with a dedicated staff member. Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa won't recover in time for Tuesday's match at Wembley and is thus returning to his club. Immediately after the game against Malta, the team will make their way back to Coverciano so they can start their preparations for England on Sunday.
ITALY VS. MALTA IN BARI. The game at San Nicola is almost sold out: over 53,000 tickets have been purchased. Please be reminded that children will only be able to attend the game with a valid ticket.
