Federico Chiesa returns to Italy's squad for crucial World Cup playoffs as the team aims to avoid a third consecutive missed tournament after playoff losses in 2018 and 2022.
- On Friday, Gennaro Gattuso named a 28-man squad that includes Federico Chiesa's first Italy call-up in almost two years for the World Cup playoffs.
