Leonardo Spinazzola has once again been dismissed from Luciano Spalletti’s squad ahead of a crucial match with Ukraine.

The Roma wide man was recently sent to the stands during Italy’s 1-1 draw with North Macedonia.

Unlike his club teammates including Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, Spinazzola does not seem to fit Luciano Spalletti’s plans within the national team.

As revealed by Sky Sport, Spinazzola, along with Lazio’s Provedel, will not be on the bench tonight as Italy face a crucial playoff match for the EURO 2024 qualifiers.
