Italy welcomes Norway to the San Siro on Sunday for what honestly feels like a tricky night for the Azzurri as they keep chasing that playoff spot. Norway, of course, has a massive goal difference that pretty much secures their ticket unless something really odd happens.
Team newsThe Italians come in with confidence after winning five qualifiers on the bounce, including a patient but deserved 2-0 win over Moldova. Late goals from Gianluca Mancini and young Francesco Pio Esposito pushed them through. Still, it's not totally smooth sailing. Riccardo Calafiori has been ruled out for the game against Norway , as reported by Softfootball. Sandro Tonali has also returned to Newcastle to assess his injury.
Italy looks fully prepared for the game, as they posted a video of the team preparing for Sunday via their official X account .
