Bastoni Escapes Suspension in Yellow Card Mix-Up

Italy beat France 3-1. After the match, a UEFA notice stating that Alessandro Bastoni had been shown a yellow card came to light. This could have meant a match ban, which applies after a player's second, fourth and sixth yellow cards in the Nations League.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC), however, explained that the error came from the notice. It was confirmed that the card had actually been shown to Davide Frattesi. As a result, neither Bastoni nor Frattesi will be suspended for the Belgium match on Sunday evening.

Pio Esposito, who also received a yellow card in the France match, has his first yellow card of the Nations League campaign. Esposito is also available to play against Belgium. Italy will face Belgium in their final group stage match.
