An overdue rejection. The official announcement came after the very heavy knockout against Psg for the Inter player. It was a tremendous blow that the Nerazzurri people had to deal with. A five to zero that no one expected.
The fans were hoping for a completely different outcome as were the players, who were really hopeful, especially after the great feat accomplished against Barcelona. A feat that had been made possible thanks to a goal by Francesco Acerbi. The defender thus became the main hero of that night at the San Siro.
The footballer himself is in these hours the protagonist of a news that will not please his fans at all. Speaking about it was Luciano Spalletti in a press conference ahead of the matches against Norway and Moldova, valid for qualification for the 2026 World Cup
“Acerbi did not respond to the summons. Physical problem? No, he rethought what happened around him. I had summoned him because of what he showed in this period. It’s true that at the end of the season we all come to the end of the season with our breath drawn, making these summonses was not easy but we have to put together so many of those things… For the moment we are not going to replace him.”
“However, we still have to delve into everything calmly and serenely,” the Ct. continued, “It is clear that with someone like Acerbi I had spoken before, then there were messages and phone calls. I don’t want to think anything, I want to think about what I have to do. He told me by message this morning that he is not participating, I replied and then I talked to him by phone and we move forward. There are so many deserving players. I cannot afford any depression. One goes confidently to do other things, other choices. Knowing that you are dealing with even stronger footballers….”
Spazio per Gabbia? La situazione, parla Spalletti

Without Francesco Acerbi, there can certainly be room for Matteo Gabbia. Also because the absentees are not few: “Calafiori and Buongiorno are not here, we were also monitoring Leoni, but he is not at his best.”
He then goes on to talk about Leoni, one of the players who ended up in Milan’s sights for the defense: “If Leoni had not been injured he would have been in, both Pecchia and Chivu have spoken well of him to me. There are several youngsters on the launch pad who could be available for the national team in a few years. I continue to be hopeful.”
Defense at 3, then, with the possibility of switching to 4 in the match: “Yes, it can happen. Di Lorenzo can play the central third and the outside. We have the possibility up front to have two very important strikers. We have a midfield that can allow us to control the game. There are no particular concerns toward this match.”
