Italy, Mancini: "Immobile could start. The road to recovery is still long"

Italy manager Roberto Mancini spoke at the press conference prior to their game against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League tomorrow: "Who will play upfront? We will decide tomorrow, but Immobile has a big chance to start. I am happy with my decision to manage this team. It was difficult at the start cause morale was very low, but the players have shown the will to turn it around. If you are a manager of a national team, it is normal to feel pressure and I have the necessary experience to deal with it. Two players from the Under 21 team will join us for the friendly against the USA: Mancini and Kean. Chiellini, Jorginho, Insigne and Florenzi will sent home after the game against Portugal. Perin? He had an issue with his pinky finger so I decided to leave him at home."
