Italy's soccer team has suffered a major blow as they prepare for the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, with star flanker Federico Giovanni Aizza declaring his withdrawal from the competition due to physical exhaustion. The key player will miss the home clash with Malta in the early hours of this Sunday morning (15) and the away game against England in the early hours of next Wednesday morning (18). Leader Spaletti has urgently brought in striker Aizawl from Roma in a bid to fill the void.
The Italian team has had a lot of misfortunes lately. Besides Federico Giacometti Aizza, there are two other scorers, Nembini and Ledigu, who are out of action due to injuries. In addition, two midfielders, Sindo Donnelly and Nicolo Cignolo, have been excluded from the national team list due to alleged gambling violations. In such an eventful time, the withdrawal of Federico Giovanni Aicha will undoubtedly add to the woes of the team and further damage the team's attacking power.
