Cambiaghi misses Belgium clash: leaves Italy camp with ankle injury

Bologna winger Cambiaghi has left Italy's camp with an ankle injury and will miss tomorrow's Nations League match against Belgium.

Niccolò Cambiaghi has withdrawn from Italy's squad ahead of their Nations League fixture against Belgium on Wednesday evening in Brussels. The Bologna winger sustained an ankle injury during the recent match against France, where he had impressed and provided an assist for Pio Esposito's goal.

Italy's medical staff assessed his condition on Tuesday morning and determined the ankle trauma had not recovered sufficiently for him to continue with the squad.

Cambiaghi will return immediately to Bologna. His absence adds to Italy's injury concerns, with midfielder Frattesi also sidelined. Manager Mancini must now plan for the Belgium match without the winger as Italy looks to secure qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals. Italy currently leads the group with France on 10 points, with Belgium on 9 and Turkey on zero.
