Italy and Newcastle Relief After Tonali Injury Scare
According to reports from Italy, medical examinations conducted on Sandro Tonali today have confirmed he sustained no muscle injuries. This means the key Azzurri player will be fit for next week's World Cup play-off semifinal against Northern Ireland.
An MRI scan performed on Thursday dispelled concerns about any muscle damage, as stated by various Italian media outlets, including Gazzetta.
Positive Injury Update for Tonali, Italy, and Newcastle
Consequently, the Newcastle United midfielder is expected to be available for Italy's World Cup play-off semifinal against Northern Ireland, scheduled for next Thursday.
Tonali had to be substituted during Newcastle's Champions League fixture against Barcelona on Wednesday, which initially sparked worries that he might miss Italy's critical upcoming match.
Beyond the reassuring test results, Tonali reports no further pain in his left thigh. However, he might still be rested for the upcoming Premier League game against Sunderland to allow him to fully integrate back into training with the Italian national squad next week.
Italy's coach, Gennaro Gattuso, is anticipated to announce his squad list tomorrow, with players commencing preparations at Coverciano on Monday, March 23rd.
Should Italy defeat Northern Ireland in the play-off semifinal on March 26th, they will advance to face the winner of the Wales versus Bosnia Herzegovina match on March 31st.
