Euros: Scamacca to spearhead attack on Switzerland

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 28 - Atalanta's Gianluca Scamacca is to spearhead Italy's attack against Switzerland in their Euro 2024 last 16 tie in Berlin, scene of the Azzurri's 2006 World Cup triumph, camp sources said Friday.
    Also starting will be Juve midfielder Nicolo Fagioli, they said.
    Inter central defender Alessandro Bastoni is expected to recover from a slight fever while Inter overlapping left back Federico Dimarco is also expected to be fit.
    Coach Luciano Spalletti has reportedly yet to decide who to play in place of Bologna libero Riccardo Calafiori, man of the match against Croatia in the final group game 1-1 last gasp draw thanks to Mattia Zaccagni's superb curling a la Del Pieo 98th minute finish, perfectly teed up by a defence opening Calafiori pass.
    The main threat to the Azzurri will come on either flank in the shape of speedy Monaco winger Breel Embolo and Bologna winger Dan Ndoye.
    Italy are slight favourites with the bookies for the 18:00 kick-off clash at the Olympiastadion, with a likely win percentage of 40% to 28%. (ANSA).
