Florenzi (right) will miss the second European Championship game injured
According to media reports, the Italian national soccer player Alessandro Florenzi will miss the Azzurri's second EM game against Switzerland next Wednesday. The Paris Saint-Germain full-back had to take a few days off with calf problems, reported the “Gazzetta dello Sport”. Whether Florenzi could be back in the final group game against Wales on June 20 is still open.
The 30-year-old Florenzi was substituted on Friday evening in the 3-0 opening win of the Italians against Turkey at halftime. Giovanni di Lorenzo from SSC Napoli came on for him. Team boss Roberto Mancini hopes to be able to fall back on his midfield director Marco Verratti against Switzerland, who after a knee injury did not get fit in time for the start of the European Championship.
