Italian coach Roberto Mancini wanted to be able to count on the results of the 30th day of Serie A before building an international squad to face the final qualifying qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup starting next week.
Because of the tight schedule, it finally couldn't be like this, and Azzurri's coach will release the list on Friday, hoping that none of the players will be injured over the weekend.
He will see where Leonardo Bonucci, who was replaced by veteran Giorgio Chiellini, among others, recovered from twin problems, but when Juventus withdrew (3-0) from the Champions League on Wednesday, and has physical problems.
“Bianconeri” (4th place) will try to forget Europe's dislike for Salerny Tana, the last qualifying that will allow him to return to the ranks with Frank Riberi, a Frenchman separated by a break in the last two games after suffering a minor head injury in a car accident.
The Italian coach will also keep an eye on Immobile and Niccolo Zaniolo's performance as they face off in the striker, especially in the high-pressure derby between Lazio (5th place) and Rome (7th place).
In the title fight, Naples (2nd place) will host Udinese (14th) on Saturday. A few hours before Inter (3rd) faces Fiorentina (8th place) to Giuseppe Meazza (8th place), an intertitle and a European place in 'Fiore', in a very important match for the aspirations of both teams.
The AC Milan leader (1st place) plays in the Cagliari house (17th place) with the advantage of knowing the results of the two pursuers before the start of the match.
Milan was three points ahead of Naples and four points ahead of Inter, but the last team was one less game than the previous two teams.
