Germany is set to host Italy at Signal-Iduna-Park for their UEFA Nations League quarterfinal second leg, following a 2-1 victory for the German side in Milan. Germany, under Julian Nagelsmann, boasts a seven-game unbeaten run since their Euro 2024 quarterfinal loss to Spain. Italy reached this stage after finishing level on points with France in their Nations League group. The winner of this match will proceed to face either Denmark or Portugal in the semifinals in June.
Italy, coached by Luciano Spalletti, faces challenges with key player absences, notably Inter Milan winger Federico Dimarco due to injury, ruling him out of both matches against Germany. Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori is also injured and unavailable for Sunday`s game. Germany isn`t without injury concerns either, as Bayer Leverkusen striker Florian Wirtz and Arsenal`s Kai Havertz are both sidelined for this week`s games against Italy.
