World Cup winning captain Cannavaro unconvinced by Spalletti's Italy squad

Italy World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro is unconvinced by Luciano Spalletti's current squad.

Cannavaro says the Azzurri currently lack quality.

Before last night's win against Ukraine, he explained: “Unfortunately we have few top players."

“There's Barella, Tonali, Chiesa.

“I would have also included Scamacca. In any case, he had the experience that he did in the Premier League.

“I believe in Frattesi."

He continued: “I think that very few national teams have a goalkeeper as good as Donnarumma and we have some good young players coming through.

“However, we have some issues in defense, where the one great player is Di Lorenzo."
