Turin, 1 June (LaPresse) – ‘Acerbi did not respond to the call-up, we take note of that and move on.’ This was stated by Italian national team coach Luciano Spalletti at a press conference in Coverciano ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. ‘This morning he sent me a message saying he wouldn't be participating. I replied and spoke to him on the phone. There are players who deserve our consideration and attention just as much as he does,’ he added. ‘I have said many times that we need to pay attention to what the league has to offer, and I called him up precisely for this reason, for what he has shown in recent times.’
