"Italy are preparing for a crucial World Cup play-off against Northern Ireland, and Gennaro Gattuso has brought the players together. As Calciomercato.com report, Gattuso has been unable to organise a training camp in February to prepare for the play-off semi-final on March 26 against Northern Ireland in Bergamo, with the final at home to one of Bosnia and Wales. As a result,"
"Gattuso's first stop was in the Middle East to meet Mateo Retegui in Saudi Arabia and Marco Verratti in Qatar, then on to London to see the group of Premier League players, including Federico Chiesa, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sandro Tonali and Destiny Udogie. Last night, Gennaro was in Milan for a dinner with players from Milan, Inter, Juventus, Bologna and Fiorentina."
"Among those present in Milan - as revealed by La Gazzetta dello Sport - were also young players being monitored for the future, such as Davide Bartesaghi and Fabio Miretti. They may not be part of the March playoffs, but they remain on the coach's radar. TeleLombardia add that Gattuso was joined by his staff members Leonardo Bonucci and Gianluigi Buffon as well as several players."
