Bastoni avoids suspension: the yellow card was Frattesi's
UEFA had booked him in Italy's 3-1 win over France, but the FIGC corrected the error: he will be available against Belgium on Sunday.
Alessandro Bastoni will be available for Sunday's Nations League clash with Belgium, the last group match. On Thursday, in Italy's 3-1 win over France, UEFA reported a yellow card for him, which would have ruled him out. According to Football Italia, the FIGC has confirmed it was a reporting error: the card went to Davide Frattesi, who will not be suspended either.
In the Nations League, a suspension comes after every second, fourth and sixth yellow card. Bastoni was one of five Italy players in the France squad carrying a booking, along with Donnarumma, Fagioli, Vergara and Scamacca. Pio Esposito was also booked, but it was his first of the campaign, so he is also available.
