Italy legend and manager Gennaro Gattuso has told Federico Chiesa that it is 'his problem' if he chooses to miss out on the latest stage of Italy's bid to qualify for the World Cup.
Former Juventus star Chiesa has not played for Italy since the last European Championship, where they crashed out in the round of 16 to Switzerland despite going into the tournament as reigning champions.
The 28-year-old was one of Italy's key men when they won Euro 2020 under the management of Roberto Mancini, but again rejected his most-recent call-up to the national team.
