Nah, he plays as a centre back for Sassuolo. He was playing regularly but hasn't played since he caught COVID-19.
Unfortunately, it looks like Turkey are too nervous to even respond to the changes. That was terrible defending by Turkey for Italy's 2nd goal.
Il calcio torna a casa (football is coming home )
Spinazola chest control in the box 
cold as feck
cold as feckStick a fork in it. Turkey are done. They need to be careful though as goal difference could be key in this group.
NEVER scored more than 2 goals at the Euros apparently!
Yeah! You're gonna win this game
Backed Immobile at 20-1 for the golden boot
Come on lad!
Come on lad!
Italy looks great! Good work by Mancini
Italy so dominant today. They're gonna be a very hard team to beat... makes quite a difference having an actual decent manager in charge like Mancini IMO.
I can only imagine it's because Berardi is a bit better technically and may suit Italy's pass-and-move football with lots of quick and short passes better, while Chiesa is more of a ferocious dribbler. Anyway, Chiesa coming on and taking on players with tired legs will be quite a weapon later in games.
I'm good thanks but you watch the other top teams midfields and have a think.
Look after yourself, take care, don't get so bothered by contrary opinions... let them go, you'll feel better.
Could be 4 or 5 here, Turkey want to go home to mummy
Italy is excellent
Barella motm for me so far.
Ciro just shot the feck out of Gennaro. Only here, there is no coming back from it!

Berardi did well for the second. Nice ball over for Spinazzola.
Watching Calhanoglu play as a deep-lying midfielder is so weird, but I guess Gunes has to set up a more attacking side now.
Honestly, he's going to regret keeping Karaman on the pitch. What a terrible performance.

They have Verratti to come back at some point right? That's ....a pretty damn good midfield if it clicks.
Will Turkey score a goal the whole tournament?
Guys who get their girlfriend/wife's face tattooed on themselves are nuts.
Unless that's his sister.

Game looked pretty decided as it was but can’t see Turkey even getting a goal back here.
What a player Immobile is...his goal scoring record is insane.
Wait, I did not realize Turkey were allowed to enter Italy's box.
Ciro will score a lot on this Euro. And this Italy defence (as always) is
yes, Mancini literally re-educated this team from the basics, after Ventura’s disaster. If only he had a bit more quality upfront… not even a Lewandowski or a Suarez, just a todays Cavani
Almost every pass directed towards Karaman has been intercepted. Why is he still on the pitch?!
I think that's kind of what you get when you approach the game in such a negative, zero confidence, fashion. It must be incredibly hard mentally to just flip a switch and suddenly play with confidence. Especially when you're the underdog to begin with.
Italy look okay, but not so self assured that I would see them immune to an aggressive pressing.
Jorgi played well.
