Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci and midfielder Daniele De Rossi will miss Monday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier in Israel, coach Giampiero Ventura confirmed after Thursday’s 3-1 friendly defeat to France in Bari.
Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli is also in doubt. “Daniele De Rossi went off with a calf injury and Andrea Barzagli isn’t good either,” said Ventura.
“Bonucci will not come with us (to Haifa),” he continued, with the Juventus defender set to miss the tie for family reasons.
