Italy deprived of Cambiaghi on the eve of the clash with Belgium
Italy had to settle for leaving winger Nicolò Cambiaghi on the bench for tomorrow night's match against the Red Devils at the King Baudouin Stadium.
Arrival and injury
arrived on Belgian soil the day before the match.
Roberto Mancini announced that he will have to do without Cambiaghi, who suffered an ankle sprain.
Sky Sport reports that the player has not recovered in time and therefore will not be fit to play against Belgium.
Recent career of the player
Cambiaghi, who would undoubtedly have started, was decisive against France by providing the assist for the equalising goal scored by Pio Esposito before the half‑hour mark.
During the first‑leg match against the Red Devils, he celebrated his first start after a single call‑up under Gennaro Gattuso.
Mark van Bommel highlighted that Arthur Theate's teammate in Bologna is in form, the run of four Serie A victories being fueled by two assists from Cambiaghi in the latest success at Parma.
