The FIGC has confirmed that Moise Kean will replace Ciro Immobile during the upcoming international break, where Italy will face Spain in the Nations League semi-finals.
The Juventus striker earned a call-up to replace Immobile, who has suffered a muscular injury and is currently on the treatment table.
Immobile missed Lazio‘s trip to Bologna, which ended in a 3-0 win for the Rossoblu.
The FIGC has now confirmed that Kean will replace Immobile.
On Saturday, the former Everton man played just 45 minutes in the Turin derby and was replaced at halftime by Massimiliano Allegri in a tactical substitution.
Kean has four goals in 10 appearances with the Azzurri.
He had earned a call-up in the preliminary squad for UEFA Euro 2020, but he was eventually omitted from the final 26-man squad list.
In the summer, Kean returned to Juventus from Everton on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.
