ROME — Italy will be without its two usual starting center forwards for European Championship qualifiers against Malta and England. Ciro Immobile and Mateo Retegui are both unavailable due to injuries. New Italy coach Luciano Spalletti called up Moise Kean for the first time in two years as a replacement in attack. Italy hosts Malta on Saturday in Bari then plays England at Wembley three days later. England leads Group C with 13 points followed by Italy (7), Ukraine (7), North Macedonia (7) and Malta (0). Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie received his first call up.
