The Italian Football Federation has officially announced that the Italian national team has decided to call up Juve center back Gatti as a replacement as Acerbi is out of Euro 2024 in Germany due to injury. Gatti, 25, has already played 36 games for Juve this season and contributed four goals. Although Gatti is not making his debut with the Italian national team, this selection shows his strength and potential.
In the group stage of the Europa League, Italy has been placed in Group B, known as the Group of Death, and will face Albania, Spain and Croatia. Although Italy is traveling as the defending champions, there are still four positions to be determined in the team, which will be competed for by players in the 30-man roster.
Italy's 30-man roster covers a wide range of excellent players in goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker positions, including well-known stars such as Donnarumma, Barella and Chiesa. With the absence of Acerbi, Gatti will have the opportunity to show his strength on the stage of the European Cup and contribute to the Italian national team.
