Cesc Fabregas criticized the Italian Football Federation’s behavior with Moise Keane, claiming that the Como striker played 90 minutes in the Azzurri team while injured.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Como coach spoke ahead of Sunday’s match against Roma, which Kea will miss after Friday’s examination revealed the extent of the problem.

Fabregas on Kean and FIGC

“He got a big knock against Belgium in the first game we played. Despite that, he played another 90 minutes. [against France] while injured, yesterday’s MRI scan showed. As for the relationship between the federation and the club… it could be better.”

Keane picked up a 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 team ahead of Monday’s 3-1 win over Turkey in Bologna.
