Italy’s Cambiaghi Withdraws from Belgium Match Due to Ankle Injury
Nicolò Cambiaghi will not participate in Italy’s Nations League match against Belgium after sustaining an ankle injury during Thursday’s victory over France. The Bologna winger has returned to his club for recovery.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed in an official statement released on Saturday that Cambiaghi must withdraw from the upcoming match due to an ankle knock sustained during the 3-1 win over France at San Siro.
During the match, Cambiaghi excelled, providing an assist to Francesco Pio Esposito and earning a penalty kick in the second half.
On Saturday morning, the 25-year-old trained separately as team doctors assessed his condition and ruled him unfit for the match.
Tomorrow’s clash represents the final game in the Nations League group phase. Italy currently leads the A1 Group with 10 points, tied with France but ahead on head-to-head results. Belgium is in third place with nine points, while Turkiye finds itself at the bottom of the group with five defeats from five matches.
