Bad news for PSG?
Italian internationals Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi will in any case not take part in the match against Lithuania on Wednesday (8.45 p.m.) in Vilnius.
Instead, and as reported by several transalpine sources, including
La Gazzetta dello Sport
, they will leave the rally on Wednesday morning to return to Paris, while the rest of Roberto Mancini's group will travel from Sofia to Lithuania.
This will be Squadra Azzura's third game, after victories against Northern Ireland (2-0) and Bulgaria (2-0) in recent days.
Verratti is injured, hit in the thigh.
We do not know the severity of this injury, nor the duration of its unavailability.
We are talking about a contusion.
Concerning Florenzi, the news is more reassuring.
It is all about fatigue and a precautionary measure for the former AS Roma captain.
