Unfavorable news came out after Italy lost 0-1 to Spain. Left back, Federico Di Marco suffered a calf injury and could miss the final Group B group game against Croatia in the early hours of Tuesday (25). According to Football Italia, leader Spalletti plans to move Caracoli, who was an ousted center back in the last match, to the left goal to replace Federico Di Marco.
Federico Di Marco has been a regular in 2 group matches for the European national team this year. He played the entire game against Spain in the last match. However, after the match, he found out that he had a calf injury and recently missed team practices. The Italian FA issued a statement to closely monitor the Inter Milan star's situation. Football Italia suggests that Spalletti has devised a plan to deal with Federico Di Marco's absence, including a cameo appearance for Caracoli at left-back.
Since making his debut at the age of 22, Caracoli has spent most of his time in a left wing role. He changed his backbone after joining Bologna last season, so he is no stranger to playing on the left wing. While the Italian midfielder has Damien and Andrea Gambiasu available for left wing duties, Shi can qualify by playing against Croatia, so he is inclined to kick Caracoli into a left wing role with a strong defense, which could be filled by either Buon Giorno or Kianlucavinceni.
