Belgium vs Italy: Quarter-Final Showdown Amidst Injury Worries ¶
Published on July 2, 2021
Belgium and Italy are set to clash in the quarter-finals of the European Championship, but both teams are struggling with injuries. The match, scheduled for 2200hrs local time, promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard are out of action due to injuries sustained in their round of 16 match against Portugal. The duo's absence has forced manager Roberto Martinez to make some tough decisions, with Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco likely to replace them in the starting lineup.
Italy, on the other hand, is also dealing with injury concerns. Giorgio Chiellini and Alessandro Florenzi are doubts for the match, but manager Roberto Mancini is optimistic that they will be fit to play.
Despite the injuries, both teams are expected to put up a strong fight. Belgium has won their last 14 matches in the European Championship, while Italy has kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 matches.
