ROME: Manuel Locatelli timed his run into the Italy team almost as well as he timed his run for the Azzurri's opening goal against Switzerland on Wednesday .
The midfielder earned his first Italy cap in September last year, after the tournament was originally scheduled to take place. It was unexpected mostly because Locatelli is not known for his goalscoring prowess, and this was the first brace of his career. "We are a wonderful group and I really hope Marco can be back soon, because he is such a talented player who can make the difference," Locatelli said after the game.
