During the UEFA Nations League Group A match against France, Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori suffered an injury and was forced to leave the field early. The injury turned out to be more serious than initially expected.

Details: Calafiori will definitely not play tomorrow against Israel. Due to a bruise on his left shin sustained during the match against France (a collision with Ousmane Dembele), the defender will fly to London today to begin treatment with Arsenal's medical staff.

The hematoma on his calf is causing concern among doctors, which is why Riccardo is heading to London. Neapolitan player Buongiorno is ready to replace him in the match against Israel.

Recall: Despite France's early goal, Italy secured a 3-1 victory in the central match of the day.
