Injured Scamacca set on the Italian World Cup qualifications

Italy will be under pressure without wounded striker Gianluca Scamacca for upcoming world cup qualifications against Estonia and Israel.

Scamacca was sent home from the Azzurri -Training camp on Thursday with a knee problem.

Faced with the prospect not to be eligible for a third consecutive World Cup, Italy has no room for errors when the Estonia in Bergamo houses on Friday and plays Israel in Hungary on Monday.

Italy has three points of two games. Norway, which played four games, leads group I with 12 points, and Israel is the next with six points from three games.

Without Scamacca, Mateo Retegui and Moise Kean are expected to lead the Italian attack.

Retegui, who led Serie A last season with 25 goals for Atalanta, recently joined the Saudi Pro League. Kean, who was second in the Italian league with 19 goals last season, recently raised his salary by Fiorentina.
