Chelsea midfielder Jorginho still devastated over Italy play-off heartbreak

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is still hurting from Italy's World Cup play-off heartbreak.

The Azzurri - who won the Euros last year - went down 1-0 to North Macedonia last week.

Jorginho wrote on Instagram "In life and football, you can win or lose. But there are defeats that are more painful than others. Believe me, my sorrow is bigger than you imagine.

"Football is not just a sport, it's a school of incredible values. It teaches you to never give up, learn from mistakes, remain united in tough moments.

"To wear this jersey is a huge honour for me. We learn and get up. Let's move on. Forza Azzurri Forza Italia."
