Italy coach Mancini: Jorginho remains penalty taker

Italy coach Roberto Mancini insists Chelsea midfielder Jorginho remains their penalty taker.

Jorginho missed penalties home and away in World Cup qualifying against Switzerland.

Ahead of the World Cup playoff against North Macedonia, Mancini said: “After the two with Switzerland, he converted the next seven in a row, so he's got his precision back.

“It won't be a problem, if there's a penalty, we'll take it."
