Cesc Fabregas has criticised the Italian Football Federation’s handling of Moise Kean, claiming the Como striker played 90 minutes for the Azzurri while injured.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Como coach spoke ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Roma, which Kean will miss after a scan on Friday revealed the extent of the problem.

“He took a significant knock against Belgium, in the first game we played. Despite that, he played another 90 minutes [against France] while injured, as an MRI scan carried out yesterday showed. As for the communication between the federation and the club… it could be better.”
Kean picked up the knock in Italy’s 2-0 home defeat to Belgium at the start of the four-game window, but played the full 90 minutes in the draw with France in Paris. He then left the squad before Monday’s 3-1 win over Turkiye in Bologna.
