Mateo Retegui, Atalanta's forward and Serie A's top scorer this season, will miss Italy's Nations League quarter-final against Germany due to a muscle strain in his right thigh. The medical exams confirmed the injury, leading to his absence in both legs of the tie. With Retegui sidelined, coach Luciano Spalletti is expected to select Moise Kean as the starting centre-forward for their first match in Milan, followed by the second leg in Dortmund.
Retegui has left the training camp, having undergone medical exams this morning, which revealed a muscle strain in his right thigh, making him unavailable for both games against Germany.
Luciano Spalletti is likely to name Fiorentina's Kean as his centre-forward to face Julian Nagelsmann's side in Milan.
Retegui, the top scorer in Serie A this season with 22 goals, has made significant contributions to the Azzurri, netting six times in 18 senior caps.
Italy confirmed that Retegui will not participate in the Nations League quarter-final against Germany and has returned to his club.
