Inter and Italy striker Andrea Pinamonti has been ruled out of the European Under-21 Championship with a knee injury.
Replacing Pinamonti in the Azzurrini squad for the competition is Padova forward Federico Bonazzoli.
It serves as a blow to Luigi Di Biagio’s side as the 20-year-old scored four goals during Italy’s run to the U-20 World Cup semi-finals.
La Nazionale get their Euro U21 campaign under way against Spain on Sunday evening.
