Media reports suggest that Italy’s upcoming Super Cup match against Argentina may be Ciro Immobile’s last game for the Azzurri.
The 32-year-old Lazio star was one of the most criticised figures following Italy’s failure to qualify for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, with many blaming the Italian forward for failing to replicate his club form for country. He struggled to show his best in Roberto Mancini’s system and often failed to make a significant impact in matches.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Immobile is still expected to retire from international duty soon and his last appearance for Italy may come in their upcoming Super Cup game against Argentina, assuming that Mancini can convince him to don the shirt one last time.
The Italian striker is still a star at Lazio and his hattrick in the 4-1 win over Genoa on the weekend only confirmed his importance to the Biancocelesti. His coach Maurizio Sarri also suggested that international retirement may be the best choice.
