International break: Italy, Hojlund, McTominay and Gilmour play | OneFootball

Today, October 9, at 8:45 PM, several matches valid for the qualifications to the upcoming World Cup will take place, which will begin next summer, in 2027. Among the seven scheduled matches, two feature players from Antonio Conte's Napoli, who entered the break with a hard-fought victory against Patrick Viera's Genoa.

National teams, the blues play: Hojlund, McTominay, and Gilmour on the field

The winning goal against Grifone was scored by Rasmus Hojlund, the 2003 forward who arrived this summer in the city of Partenope to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku. The number 19 blue, tonight, will take the field with his Denmark to face Belarus. The former Manchester United player scored in the last match with the national team against Greece, where he scored the 3-0 goal.

In addition to Hojlund, representing Napoli tonight will also be Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour who will play with Scotland's jersey to face Greece. The MVP of the last Serie A season is not going through the best moment of his career, given the significant delay in condition due to his almost total absence during the pre-season retreat due to a physical problem that kept him out for several days: however, McTominay is always charged and ready to work to get back in shape as soon as possible to help Napoli and his Scotland. On the other hand, Gilmour is doing well and, upon returning to Napoli, will have the task of replacing Stanislav Lobotka for a month due to the injury suffered by the Slovakian that will keep him off the field for a month.
