Sandro Tonali, Ivan Provedel and Leonardo Spinazzola won’t be available for Italy against Ukraine tonight and according to Sky Sport Italia, the Newcastle midfielder has suffered a slight muscle injury.
Tonali started in Italy’s 1-1 draw against North Macedonia on Saturday and has been training at Milanello over the last few days ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifying fixture against Ukraine.
However, according to Sky Sport Italia, the 23-year-old won’t be available against the Ukrainians due to a slight muscle injury.
Surely, Tonali has not been called up for the game and the same is true of Lazio keeper Provedel and Roma left-back Spinazzola.
Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi is expected to replace Tonali in central midfield, starting with Manuel Locatelli and Nicolò Barella.
The Azzurri must beat Ukraine to keep qualification hopes alive. They have a game in hand but are three points behind tonight’s opponents who sit second in Group C led by England.
