The Italian team received a heavy blow before facing Germany in the quarter -finals of the European Champions League, after it was confirmed that its striker, Matteo Retigi, was confirmed due to injury.
The Italian Football Association announced today, Wednesday, that the Italian league striker and the Italian scorer with 22 goals suffers from an injury in his right thigh, which calls for his departure from the national team camp in order to undergo additional tests under the supervision of the medical staff of Nadia.
The absence of Retigi is a great loss for the Italian national team, especially since he scored 6 goals in 18 international matches since he was chosen to represent Italy in 2023, after he was qualified to play with the Argentina national team.
The Italian team is preparing to face Germany in the quarter -finals at the San Siro stadium in Milan on Thursday, March 21st, with the second leg in Dortmund on March 23.
