According to Milan Sport, Juventus midfielder Fagioli could replace Jorginho in the starting lineup for Italy’s final, crucial match against Croatia.
The 23-year-old only played 441 minutes in the league for Juventus last season due to a seven-month ban. Despite limited playing time, he was still included in Mancini’s 26-man Italy squad for the European Championship. However, he has yet to see any minutes on the pitch. This situation could change.
Today’s edition of Milan Sport, on pages 2 and 3, reveals a crucial piece of information. Due to Jorginho’s underwhelming performance in the match against Spain, Italy’s head coach Mancini plans to replace Jorginho in the starting lineup with Fagioli for the final game. Despite a challenging season for Fagioli, he now has the opportunity to serve his country in the most crucial do-or-die match. The newspaper also believes that Mancini’s decision is a huge risk, but they are hopeful that this change will bring good results for Italy.
