The Italy national team suffered a 1-2 defeat against Germany on home soil, and that's not the only bad news for the team following the match.
Details: During the game, Riccardo Calafiori sustained an injury that turned out to be more serious than initially expected. The defender immediately left the national team camp and is returning to Arsenal. There is suspicion of a first or second-degree knee injury, but the final diagnosis will be made by the medical staff of the London club.
It is worth noting that Italy took the lead first in the match against Germany but failed to maintain the advantage and lost 1-2, conceding two goals in the second half. The return match will take place on Sunday, March 23, in Dortmund.
Reminder: Barcelona's main central defender Pau Cubarsi was unable to finish the first half due to injury. The 18-year-old talent felt pain in the back of his thigh and requested a substitution.
