The injury carousel continues for Antonio Conte’s brigade as now maestro Andrea Pirlo will be forced to sit out against Azerbaijan
Antonio Conte spoke to reporters in Baku stating that “it’s a shame, Andrea won’t be able to take part in the game”.
With the coach’s switch to a 4-4-2, which raised many eyebrows, it now seems the battle between Marco Verratti and Andrea Pirlo will be uncontested for at least the first game of the international break.
Italy’s midfield is in tatters heading into this round of qualifiers, no Claudio Marchisio, no Daniele De Rossi and now no Andrea Pirlo to dictate play.
The ex-Juventus midfielder reported a slight pull in his abductor and Antonio Conte decided not to take any chances with the 37 year old midfielder.
Italy kicks off against Azerbaijan tomorrow at 18:00 CET.
