Ciro Immobile News

Immobile scored 9 goals in 11 matches for his club Lazio this season. He has been the top scorer of the Italian league Serie A for three seasons. Midfielders Nicole Zaniolo and Lorenzo Pellegrini withdrew from the squad.

Serie A leading scorer Immobile netted the winner with his 31st goal of the season as Lazio, fourth with 72 points, clinched the final Italian place in Europe`s elite club competition next season.

Lazio's second-half comeback helps them to surpass Antonio Conte's men to grab the second spot in the Serie A only one point behind the league leaders Juventus.

After losing 3-0 to Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, Italy needed a win to continue to aspire to first place in Group G, leading to automatic qualification.

In the most recent matches, Italy claimed a 2-1 win in the Euro 2012 semi-finals while Germany romped to a 4-1 win in a meaningless friendly in March.
