It’s reported to include Chiellini, had a slight knee issue during training following an accidental knock.
“We’ll have to evaluate the situation with Giorgio between this evening and tomorrow morning. If he’s in good shape, then he will play, otherwise he’ll be on the field on Wednesday against the Netherlands.”
Lazio’s Francesco Acerbi is the favourite to step in if Chiellini can’t make it, although Angelo Ogbonna of West Ham United is another alternative.
