Before the Austria match: Mancini spoiled for choice

The favorites for Mancini's offensive trio are Ciro Immobile, Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne and Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi. Juve's Federico Chiesa would then sit on the bench again - at least initially. Mancini wants to use largely the same squad with which he defeated Switzerland. Manuel Locatelli, hero of the opening match against Turkey with two goals, and PSG star Marco Verratti, who has recovered from an injury, could also play against Franco Foda's team. It is unclear which of the two will take the place in midfield alongside Nicolo Barella and Jorginho. But Locatelli seems to have the better cards at the moment. Insignia with respect for Austria Insigne shows respect for the ÖFB team. “We have seen the last matches of the Austrians, including the last one against Ukraine. We must study them deeply. The team runs a lot and is good at pressing. We will prepare thoroughly in the hope of achieving a great achievement in London,” explained the 30-year-old Neapolitan. David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic are the players who worry the Italians the most. “Arnautovic is unpredictable. He has talent, technique and physical strength. If he has the right day, he can hurt us a lot,” warns former international Giampaolo Pazzini. “Not just Alaba: the ÖFB has many quality players. Foda's team, debutants in the round of 16, can be treacherous. Be careful of Austria!”, like this Journal of Sport . “New Generation Alaba: Multicultural Austria enjoys football. Captain Alaba is the symbol of a heterogeneous team that has learned from Germany and sees the players' different origins as wealth. She radiates energy from every pore,” commented the daily newspaper The print (Thursday edition). Coach Mancini has given up hope of being able to use his star defender Giorgio Chiellini again against Austria. The Juventus defender was rested in the match against Wales due to problems with his left thigh. He has now resumed individual training at the training camp in Coverciano near Florence. However, Mancini wants to rest him against Austria. The Roman Alessandro Florenzi, who is suffering from problems with his right calf, will also not be used against the ÖFB team.
