Unexpected and heartbreaking… 💔
Federico Chiesa had been called up to the Italy national football team for the first time in two years, after Gennaro Gattuso personally requested his return for the World Cup playoff matches. 🇮🇹
He was extremely happy to be back and even decided to arrive early to fight for a starting spot.
But upon arrival, he underwent physical tests to evaluate his current condition…
And sadly, he was removed from the squad after failing to meet the required fitness level.
A brutal setback just when everything seemed to be going right. 😔⚽
