Gianluca Scamacca is set to join the Italian national squad at Coverciano, despite having recently sustained an injury. This setback occurs just before Italy’s crucial World Cup playoff fixtures against Northern Ireland, and potentially Bosnia or Wales.
The striker has reportedly suffered an adductor tear. Nevertheless, Scamacca is said to be resolute in his commitment to answer Gennaro Gattuso’s call-up. He is reportedly highly motivated for the international break and intends to remain with the squad despite his physical ailment. Although not new to injuries, he is determined to push through this current issue.
His availability for Thursday’s match against Northern Ireland remains uncertain. The medical staff will conduct final assessments in the coming days to determine if the forward can recover sufficiently to participate. For Gattuso, Scamacca’s presence at the national team base is a priority, and the player’s dedication is viewed as a significant boost for the group as they navigate this high-stakes qualification path.
