Italy is preparing for a pivotal World Cup qualification match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but they will once again be without the services of Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo. The defender has been sidelined since late January due to a knee injury, which has caused him to miss recent fixtures, including the semi-final against Northern Ireland.
His agent, Mario Giuffredi, confirmed Di Lorenzo’s continued absence for the upcoming away match in Zenica, stating that his client is currently undergoing intensive rehabilitation. “He’s not in a condition to skip any days of therapy now, because he’s nearing recovery,” Giuffredi explained, expressing optimism for Di Lorenzo’s return to the pitch by the last week of April. This timeline indicates Di Lorenzo is expected to miss key Serie A clashes against AC Milan, Parma, and Lazio, with a potential return for the season finale against Cremonese.
