  "account": "Moise Kean faces a major doubt for Italy's upcoming Nations League match against Turkiye in Bologna on Monday. The forward was not training with the squad today due to a new knock, raising concerns about his participation in the game which starts at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST). Italy aims to build upon their impressive 4-1 victory over Turkey in Bursa and their 1-1 draw with France. Kean had started the match in Paris as part of a trident attack with Sebastiano and Pio Esposito, but had been in doubt over an injury concern. Sky Sport Italia reports that he sustained another knock in the France match, which has prevented him from training with his teammates. This suggests that Kean might be left out of the squad for this crucial match, or at least only have a spot on the bench. Italy's starting XI in the match against France included both Esposito brothers, and it is likely that one or both will be rested against Turkiye. Antonio Vergara made his debut in Paris and is pushing for a chance, while Samuele Inacio has yet to get a spot on the bench for the senior squad.",
