The Azzurri national team head coach has reiterated that he has not decided on the starting line-up that he would be laying out for the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. Italy has some injury concerns, and their manager stated that the practice
session today would give him a better idea on who will be fit enough to start in the match against Joachim Low’s men.

“Do I have doubts over my line-up? Always, as that means everyone is ready and wants to make my decisions difficult.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 limped off in the match against Roy Hodgson’s men, during the second-half of the quarter-finals of the Euro 2012. De Rossi has nerve damage, which does not allow him to run, however, he has been recovering and
the final decision would be made after the midfielder practices with the national team in today’s session.
Giorgio Chiellini limped off in the last group stage match of Italy, against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987, and had a thigh strain. The recovery time from such an injury is usually 20 days, but the Italian doctors managed to work out
the strain and there are reports suggesting that the defender might be able to feature against the Germans.
The Juventus defender was left out of the line-up for the quarter-final match against the Three Lions, and had been replaced by his club team-mate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-Bonucci-c22064.
Asides from their injury concerns, Prandelli has had concerns regarding his striker’s ability to convert as well. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 have only managed to score four times and a conversion rate like that would mean trouble against an efficient
team like the Germans.

While talking to the press ahead of their match against Joachim Low’s men, Prandelli stated:
“Today’s training session will be crucial to evaluate the physical recovery of the players, while we are already in good shape psychologically. Diamanti has always shown great effort and enthusiasm, being ready whenever he was
called upon.”
