    Napoli star Alessandro Buongiorno has withdrawn from the Italy squad for games against Norway and Moldova and has been replaced by Fiorentina’s Luca Ranieri.

    The Italy national team announced on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday morning that Fiorentina centre-back Ranieri would replace Buongiorno in the Azzurri squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches.

    Buongiorno hasn’t played a competitive match for over a month due to an adductor injury.

    The Italian centre-back was unavailable for five of Napoli’s last eight Serie A matches, playing just 64 minutes against Torino on April 27 and spending the remaining two games on the bench.
