The Italian national football team suffered losses. According to „Calciomercato“, the winger of „Freiburg“ Vincenzo Grifo will not be able to participate in the World Cup qualifying match taking place in Vilnius on Wednesday. According to the media, the 27-year-old footballer did not suffer an injury - he was simply allowed to return to his club. It is said that this situation arose due to Germany's strict position towards Lithuania - there are very strict restrictions in place for people arriving from our country due to coronavirus rules and the footballer could have faced problems upon returning to „Freiburg“.
